REal-worLd vAlidaTION of PhotoPlehtysmoGraphy (for Atrial Fibrillation Detection)

A Real-World Validation Study of Intermittent Photoplethysmography Based Rhythm Monitoring for Atrial Fibrillation Detection

Mobile health solutions for rhythm monitoring (e.g. atrial fibrillation detection) using photoplethysmography (PPG) technology on a smartphone have been developed. This study validates the performance of a digital health application (FibriCheck®) using PPG technology on a smartphone against a single-lead ECG device (Kardia Mobile®).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject is scheduled for an ablation procedure for AF, at least 4 weeks after the inclusion.
• Subject provides informed consent.
• Subject understands and agrees to comply with planned study procedures.
• Subject is able to perform measurements of the heart rhythm using the FibriCheck application at home.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Insufficient cognitive or comprehensive level of Dutch to participate to the trial.
• No access to a smartphone or unable to perform FibriCheck measurements at home.
• Pacemaker.
