Johnson & Johnson on Tuesday said it has opened enrollment
for "Heartline," a study in collaboration with Apple Inc. that will
explore if a new iPhone app and heart-health features on the Apple
Watch can help reduce the risk of stroke.
J&J said U.S. adults 65 years and older can join the study
by downloading the Heartline Study app on an iPhone.
The company said the study will assess whether the Heartline app
and the ECG app and irregular rhythm notification feature on the
Apple Watch can reduce the likelihood of stroke and improve health
outcomes with earlier detection of atrial fibrillation, a common
form of irregular heart rhythm that is a leading cause of
stroke.
J&J and Apple early last year announced plans to collaborate
on the earlier detection of atrial fibrillation.
