The mHealth Screening To Prevent Strokes (mSToPS) randomised clinical trial showed that home-based wearable electrocardiogram (EKG) sensor patch monitoring, compared with delayed monitoring, resulted in a higher rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnosis after four months. Wearing an ECG patch (Zio, iRhythm) for two weeks was equivalent to 12 months of fortnightly monitoring.
