Follow up atrial fibrillation alerts from wearables in an orderly way
Wearables detect signs of atrial fibrillation and advise a medical check-up
Fits: Health & care
People whose watch reports a sign of atrial fibrillation get a medical check-up quickly and by a fixed route. Undetected atrial fibrillation is found earlier, without a watch alert being mistaken for a diagnosis.
Is this for you?
- People come to your practice, clinic or care facility with alerts or ECG recordings from their smartwatch.
- You are considering using approved wearables specifically for rhythm monitoring, for example in aftercare.
- It is clear which doctor assesses heart rhythm findings.
Without patient data: use the template below to draft a one-page information sheet on what patients should do when their watch reports a sign of atrial fibrillation. A doctor from the practice fills the medical gaps before anyone receives the sheet.
How to go about it
- Clarify what you use watch alerts for and who follows them up
- Accept only approved devices and functions
- Integrate alerts into the check-up process
- Cross-check with your own check-ups
- Train doctors, medical assistants and nursing staff
- Record confirmed and unconfirmed alerts
