AFib (atrial fibrillation) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia that can cause blood clots that can lead to high-risk complications such as stroke and heart failure. AFib patients are five times more likely to have a stroke than the general population, and about one-third of all stroke patients are caused by AFib. Because the blood clots that form in the heart can be large, strokes caused by AFib tend to damage large areas of the brain, putting patients at a higher risk of death, more severe sequelae, and more expensive later treatment. According to statistics, about 20% of patients who have experienced a stroke experience do not know they have symptoms of AFib.
Currently, in the United States alone, about 750,000 people are hospitalized and 130,000 people lose their lives each year. 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, etc.
