The wrist worn device is intended to be used for unobtrusive and continuous (24/7) monitoring of heart arrhythmia, e.g., paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular beats. It uses biooptical signal photoplethysmogram and signal processing algorithms for real-time atrial fibrillation arrhythmia monitoring, e.g., during hemodialysis procedure or long-term, offline monitoring, e.g., in rehabilitation settings or at user home.
An additional feature of the device – capability to record electrocardiogram as a reference channel. This channel can be detached in unobtrusive usage scenario.
Novelty:
There is no biooptical signal based wrist worn device for heart arrhythmia monitoring currently on the market.
Project:
Research Council of Lithuania supported project „AFAMI“ (No. MIP088/15).
