The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - ECG application
Treatment: Devices - 12 lead ECG

Experimental: ECG App arm - Participants will be provided with Apple iWatch on Day 1 to Day 4 whilst admitted in hospital.


Treatment: Devices: ECG application
The app together with the device (Apple Watch) will record a V1 (Left wrist) or V2 (left ankle) ECG reading. These measurements will be conducted on Day 1 and Day 4.

Treatment: Devices: 12 lead ECG
The 12 lead ECG will measure corrected QT interval by recording RR and QT intervals on Day 1 and Day 4. This will be performed within the same episode of care as Apple Watch ECG recording. There is no need to perform both at exactly the same time point, but within a 15 minute window.
