Evaluation of the feasibility and accuracy of remote mobile app-based self-reported atrial fibrillation risk factor assessment in patients with atrial fibrillation: TeleCheck-AF results

Abstract Background Previously, we introduced the TeleCheck-AF approach, which is an on-demand mobile health (mHealth) infrastructure incorporating app-based heart rate and rhythm monitoring as well self-reported atrial fibrillation (AF) risk factor assessment to allow comprehensive remote AF management through teleconsultation. Herein, evaluated feasibility accuracy of in patients. Methods In our University Medical Center, 545 patients were managed within project by mHealth Patients asked fill a short 10-item questionnaire related factors. A reminder complete automatically popped-up after following four recordings. Furthermore, patient's medical history was retrieved from electronic records (EHRs). Results Out patients, 542 (99.4%) (217 female, age 67 (59–72) years) completed included this analysis. The number with diabetes mellitus similar EHRs (both 11.3%, p=1.000). There no significant difference who had transient ischemic attack (TIA)/cerebrovascular accident (CVA) artery disease (coronary peripheral disease) (11.4% vs 12.2%, p=0.608 14.8% 13.3%, p=0.366, respectively). Heart failure more frequently reported compared (33.4% 14.0%, p<0.001). total 260 (48.0%) diagnosis hypertension verified only 239 (44.1%) (p=0.044). CHA2DS2-VASc-score ≥2 between (64.2% 66.1%, p=0.275). 85.4%, TIA/CVA 78.9%, 60.9%, 78.8%, 89.3%. Conclusion Patient factors feasible may be useful for future digital trials Funding Acknowledgement Type funding sources: None.
