Clinical Trial: DELTA (Detecting and Predicting Atrial Fibrillation in Post-Stroke Patients)
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Stroke, Ischemic
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Develop and Validate Machine-Learning Algorithm to Detect Atrial Fibrillation With Wearable Devices
Brief Summary:
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is an abnormal heart rhythm.Because AF is often asymptomatic, it often remains undiagnosed in the early stages.Anticoagulant therapy greatly reduces the risks of stroke in patients diagnosed with AF.However, diagnosis of AF requires long-term ambulatory monitoring procedures that are burdensome and/or expensive.Smart devices (such as Apple or Fitbit) use light sensors (called "photoplethysmography" or PPG) and motion sensors (called "accelerometers") to…
