Purpose

The purpose of this study is two-fold. First we would like to confirm that non-contact ECG provides equivalency to current contact methods of obtaining ECG data. Second we would like to investigate whether non-contact ECG can detect ECG changes prior to the onset symptoms from COVID19.

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Participant ECG The study has one arm, I.e., we will collect daily ECGs in 100 participants and track their ECG over three months. We will then compare ECGs pre and post COVID-19 diagnosis in any participant diagnosed with COVID-19 to assess for any early ECG changes that may aid with diagnosing.
  • Device: Non-contact ECG
    A non-contact ECG will be used to detect a patient cardiac electrical activity.
