AFib<\/a> (atrial fibrillation<\/a>) 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<\/a> 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<\/a>. Because the blood clots that form in the heart can be large, strokes caused by AFib<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an app for early screening of atrial fibrillation<\/a>, AFibCheck<\/a> does not require other equipment, just a mobile phone. Based on PPG technology, it can identify human heart rhythm and atrial fibrillation<\/a> detection. This method is very convenient and practical, and supports the sharing of atrial fibrillation<\/a> data to report to doctors, etc. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
