Atrial fibrillation can happen to anyone, from children to adults. Because the likelihood of AFib increases with age, and because people are living longer today, medical researchers predict that the number of AFib cases will increase dramatically over the next few years. Although AFib clearly increases the risk of heart-related death and stroke, many patients do not fully appreciate the potentially serious consequences.
Atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib or AF, is a shaking or irregular heartbeat that can lead to heart failure, blood clots and even stroke. It is the most common serious heart rhythm abnormality.
As many as 30% of AFib cases are not diagnosed until life-threatening complications arise, meaning there is an urgent need for more efficient screening methods that can be applied at scale.
As an app for early screening of atrial fibrillation, AFibCheck does not require other equipment, just a mobile phone. Based on PPG technology, it can identify human heart rhythm and atrial fibrillation detection. This method is very convenient and practical, and supports the sharing of atrial fibrillation data to report to doctors.
