Can you help with a research study into Remote Monitoring in ACHD?

Do you already use a watch to monitor your heart? Be part of this research by completing a questionnaire to demonstrate how you feel about using it.

If you don’t already use one, the researcher is looking for people to test a new watch that can monitor heart rhythm. They are particularly interested in people who have had surgery recently, have surgery planned or those who suffer with heart rhythm or heart failure symptoms.

A watch will be sent for you to evaluate for 2 weeks. You will then be asked to return the watch and complete a questionnaire.

This research is being run by Newcastle University and is funded by the British Heart Foundation. It will help to design a bigger study to test how effective different heart monitoring systems are in diagnosing heart rhythm problems.
