Detection of atrial fibrillation using a smartwatch

Nat Rev Cardiol. 2018 Nov;15(11):657-658. doi: 10.1038/s41569-018-0057-1.

Abstract

The KardiaBand, which records a rhythm strip from an AppleWatch, was paired with an app for automated detection of atrial fibrillation. A new study by Bumgarner and colleagues is one of the first studies to examine the feasibility of using a smartwatch to discriminate between sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation.
