Why the study?
Is mass screening for atrial fibrillation using a smartphone with a dedicated PPG application feasible?
Is mass screening for atrial fibrillation using a smartphone with a dedicated PPG application feasible?
Smartphone-based PPG technology offers a feasible, low-cost approach for mass atrial fibrillation screening.
May enable low-cost AF screening where ECG access is limited; leaves open outcome benefits in unselected populations.
Mass screening for AF using only a smartphone with dedicated application based on PPG technology is feasible and attractive because of its low cost and logistic requirements.
