Summary: the cor-insight trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of peerbridge cor advanced ambulatory ecg wearables (cor 1.0 and cor 2.0) in accurately and non-invasively detecting cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary conditions using ai-based software (cardiomind and cardioqsync). the study devices offer non-invasive, multiplexed, ai-enabled direct-from-ecg detection as a novel alternative to traditional diagnostic methods, including imaging, hemodynamic monitoring systems, catheter-based devices, and biochemical assays. continuous cor ecg data collected in hospital, outpatient clinic, or home settings will be analyzed to evaluate the predictive accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and performance of these devices in differentiating between screen-positive and screen-negative subjects. the panel of screened indications encompasses a broad spectrum of clinically relevant cardiovascular, cardiopulmonary, and sleep-related diagnostic parameters, which are critical for advanced patient assessment and management. in the cardiovascular domain, the protocol emphasizes the detection and classification of heart failure, assessment of ejection fraction severity, and identification of myocardial infarction, including pathological q-waves and stemi. it further addresses diagnostic markers for arrhythmogenic conditions such as qt interval prolongation, t-wave alternans, and ventricular tachycardia, as well as insights into ischemia, atrial enlargement, ventricular activation time, and heart rate turbulence. additional parameters, such as heart rate variability, pacing efficacy, electrolyte imbalances, and structural abnormalities, including left ventricular hypertrophy, contribute to comprehensive cardiovascular risk stratification. in the non-invasive cardiopulmonary context, the protocol incorporates metrics like respiratory sinus arrhythmia, cardiac output, stroke volume, and stroke volume variability, providing critical insights into hemodynamic and autonomic function. the inclusion of direct-from-ecg metrics for sleep-related disorders, such as the apnea-hypopnea index, respiratory disturbance index, and oxygen saturation variability, underscores the protocol's utility in addressing the intersection of cardiopulmonary and sleep medicine. this multifaceted approach establishes a robust framework for precision diagnostics and holistic patient management. the cor 1.0 and cor 2.0 wearables provide multi-lead ecg recordings, with cor 2.0 offering extended capabilities for cardiopulmonary metrics and longer battery life (up to 14 days). cor 2.0 supports tri-modal operations: (i) extended holter mode: outputs leads ii and iii, mirroring the functionality of cor 1.0 for broader ecg monitoring applications. (ii) cardiopulmonary mode: adds real-time recording of lead i, v2, respiratory impedance, and triaxial accelerometer outputs, providing advanced cardiopulmonary insights. (iii) real-time streaming mode: streams data directly to mobile devices or computers via bluetooth low energy (ble), enabling real-time waveform rendering and analysis. the cor 2.0 units are experimental and not yet fda-cleared. primary endpoints include sensitivity (true positive rate) \> 80%, specificity (true negative rate) \> 90%, and statistical agreement with reference devices for cardiovascular, cardiopulmonary, and sleep metrics. secondary endpoints focus on predictive values (ppv and npv) and overall diagnostic performance. the study employs eight distinct sub-protocols (a through h) to address a variety of cardiovascular, cardiopulmonary, and sleep-related diagnostic goals. these sub-protocols are tailored to specific clinical endpoints, varying in duration (30 minutes to 14 days) and type of data collection. up to 15,000 participants will be enrolled across multiple sub-protocols. screening ensures eligibility, and subjects must provide informed consent before participation. dropouts and non-compliant subjects will be excluded from final analyses.

those who are asymptomatic, critically ill, or awaiting procedures such as ablation, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr), transcatheter aortic valve implantation (tavi), or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) placement. additionally, the protocol addresses the needs of patients with cardiopulmonary conditions. benefits for asymptomatic cardiac patients 1. early detection of subclinical conditions: * the protocol leverages continuous ecg monitoring and advanced metrics such as st-segment changes, qt interval, qtc, pr interval, and p-wave analysis to identify early signs of arrhythmias, conduction defects, and structural abnormalities before symptoms manifest. 2. sudden cardiac death (scd) risk stratification: * advanced ai-enabled analytics provide stratification for high-risk asymptomatic individuals, focusing on prolonged qt syndrome, ventricular arrhythmias, and atrial fibrillation. this screening offers a critical layer of protection for patients with genetic predispositions or undiagnosed structural heart abnormalities. 3. personalized monitoring for athletic populations: * healthy athletic individuals gain insights into cardiovascular performance and potential risks, enabling proactive management of underlying conditions and preventing scd during high-intensity physical activity. benefits for critically ill cardiac patients 1. hemodynamic

fluid management and medication titration. 2. dynamic assessment of treatment efficacy: * critically ill patients on inotropic or vasopressor support benefit from continuous hemodynamic data, allowing real-time adjustments to therapy and minimizing the risk of complications. 3. post-surgical recovery optimization: * for patients recovering from cardiac or vascular surgeries, cor devices detect early signs of heart failure or inadequate perfusion, supporting timely intervention. benefits for patients awaiting procedures 1. pre-procedural risk stratification: o the protocol evaluates ejection fraction severity, arrhythmogenic risks, and cardiac output parameters, enabling comprehensive pre-procedural risk assessments. these data inform clinical decision-making for patients awaiting procedures such as ablation, tavr, tavi, or icd placement, ensuring optimized intervention timing and reduced perioperative risks. 2. interim monitoring: o patients awaiting procedures benefit from real-time monitoring of cardiac electrical and hemodynamic stability. this enables clinicians to detect emergent arrhythmias, ischemic events, or heart failure exacerbations that may necessitate changes in medical management or expedited scheduling. 3. enhanced decision support: * the combination of continuous ecg and cardiopulmonary data allows for individualized procedural planning, including patient-specific adjustments to intervention strategies based on dynamic cardiac function and risk profiles. benefits for patients with cardiopulmonary conditions 1. comprehensive diagnostics: o the protocol integrates cardiac output, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and stroke volume variability to provide actionable insights into conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd), pulmonary hypertension, and interstitial lung disease (ild). 2. management of acute conditions: o for acute conditions like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ards) and pulmonary embolism, cor devices enable fluid optimization and right ventricular function assessment to guide therapy. 3. chronic condition monitoring: * patients with conditions such as cystic fibrosis or advanced pulmonary hypertension benefit from ongoing monitoring of cardiac-pulmonary interactions to track disease progression and treatment efficacy. the cor-insight is aimed at demonstrating and validating transformative benefits for cardiac patients across the spectrum of asymptomatic individuals, critically ill patients, and those awaiting procedures.
