Title: | P1457Preliminary results of the FLASH-AF: Validation of the device independent nature of a pulse deriving smartphone application for the detection of atrial fibrillation | Authors: | Proesmans, T. SMEETS, Christophe DREESEN, Pauline VANHAEREN, Joke VANDERVOORT, Pieter |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | Source: | Congress of the European-Society-of-Cardiology (ESC) / World Congress of Cardiology, Paris, AUG 31-SEP 04, 2019 | Abstract: | Background: Smartphone applications using photoplethysmography (PPG) technology through their camera are becoming an attractive alternative for atrial fibrillation (AF) screening due to their low cost, convenience, and broad accessibility. However, some important questions concerning their diagnostic accuracy, robustness and device independent nature remain to be answered. Purpose: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of a PPG-based pulse-deriving smartphone application with respect to handheld single-lead ECG and 12-lead ECG. In addition, the device dependent nature and ro-bustness of the performance of the application was assessed. Methods: 300 Patients who are scheduled for a regular consultation or procedure (i.e. ablation or cardioversion) will be recruited from the cardi-ology ward. Additionally, patients hospitalized for continuous cardiac monitoring will be recruited to enrich the database with AF measurements. After obtaining written informed consent, the patients fill in a questionnaire collecting demographic and medical information. The pulse-deriving application will be tested on total of 14 different smart-phones, 7 iOS devices and 7 Android devices. In total, each device will be measured with 150 times. The patients will additionally perform a single-lead ECG measurement with a handheld device. Subsequently, a 12-lead ECG will be recorded to obtain the reference diagnosis. Results: A total of 164 patients already participated in the study. The mean age was 64 (±19) years, 58% was male. The AF-prevalence was 37%.
