Press Release

How well do you know your heart? Johnson & Johnson, in collaboration with Apple, is offering eligible U.S. adults 65 years and older the opportunity to join the Heartline™ Study virtually from home using their iPhone.

The Heartline™ Study is a nationwide heart health research study designed to explore if the Heartline Study app on iPhone and heart health features on Apple Watch can enable earlier detection of an irregular heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation (AFib), and potentially improve heart health outcomes, including reducing the risk of stroke.

This study is virtual. This means you can participate from anywhere through your iPhone- including from the comfort of your home, without having to go to a doctor’s office. You’ll participate in a heart healthy engagement program with surveys, tips, and activities designed to help you become more engaged in your overall health. If you’re 65 or older and interested in being a part of the study, visit Heartline.com to learn more and download the app to see if you’re eligible to enroll.
