AFib Detection With Single-Lead ECG

The NRC and UNB’s Analytics Everywhere Lab are recruiting participants for a study that will validate the use of consumer-grade heart rate sensor technologies to detect atrial fibrillation (AFib). If you are above the age of 18, you are eligible to participate in the study.

If you decide to volunteer in this study, you will be asked to participate in a data collection session where a researcher will record your ECG data using a Polar H9 and H10 heart rate sensors. We will provide instructions on how to place the sensor on your chest.

The total data collection process will take around 1.5 hours. You will be sitting for the entire duration of the data collection process. Music or other forms of audio/video entertainment can be used for the duration of the data collection process. A member of the research team will check in with you at regular intervals during the data collection process to ensure your comfort and safety, and to answer any questions. You will be offered a $20 Tim Hortons voucher in thanks.
