Testing Effects of Wearable Sensors on Heart Implant Devices

(IRB#: IRB_00177524)

This study tests heart implant response to wearable sensors using smartwatches and smart scales that measure health, such as weight and stress. People in the study must have a heart implant pacemaker or defibrillator more than 3 months before participation. People in the study will wear a smartwatch and stand on a smart scale. Participants will attend one in-person visit at the study clinic for about 1 hour. Medical tests will be done to track the health of participants.
