Screening for Heart Failure Using a Multimodal Wearable Device

Presence or absence of heart failure

The purpose of this study is to find out if there are any patterns in the way people's bodies
 react to physical activities and their voices when they have heart failure, a disease where
 the heart cannot function sufficiently. To do this, the investigators will use a smartwatch
 that can measure multiple signals like the participant's heart rate and movement.
 Investigators will ask participants with and without heart failure to wear the Watch HOP
 (from HOP-Child Technologies Inc.) and sensors during physical tasks at their clinic visit at
 the McGill University Health Centre. Researchers will also record the participants' voices
 between their visits. The key signals can help find who is at risk for heart failure or
 develop new ways to monitor and treat it.
