During this study the performance of the FibriCheck application was evaluated in a Primary Care setting on the screening of Atrial Fibrillation versus the gold standard 12-lead electrocardiogram. It indicated that the Fi [...]
Validation study of a pulse-deriving wrist band using spot-check measurements to detect atrial fibrillation Introduction: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) screening can nowadays be carried out using mobile and wearable s [...]
When the first version of the FibriCheck application was released as a medical device on the market, we encountered several challenges that were indicated out of the post-market surveillance process. The quality system, [...]
The quality of the PPG signal is crucial to achieve the highest diagnostic accuracy possible and to and to avoid misleading analyses as much. The challenge of the PPG signal is the susceptibility to noise artefacts that [...]
Objective: The goal of this document is to demonstrate the correlation between ECG derived heart beats and PPG derived heartbeats and the define the capability of a smartphone to correctly and accurately measure beat- [...]
Introduction: Smartphone apps are capable of detecting heart rate. However validation of the accuracy is key for clinical implementation. Therefore in this study a comparison is made between FibriCheck and 2 exi [...]

As you have read in the previous posts the PPG signal is basically the same principle as palpitating the pulse at the arteria radialis. However, instead of putting your finger on your wrist, with FibriCheck you are putti [...]
The heart is an electromechanical muscular pump that, in a normal situation, has a rhythmic contraction when an electrical stimulus triggers the heart cells to contract. This electrical signal is also called the electroc [...]
Abstract presentation ACC 2016 October 6th, 2016 JACC, Vol 69, Issue 11, p2499 Objectives: Guidelines indicate opportunistic screening for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) as a class I recommendation since it [...]
Oral presentation Belgian Heart Rhythm Meeting October 8th 2015 Objectives: The recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) after electrical cardioversion occurs in almost 50% of the cases, especially d [...]
Computing in Cardiology 2014; 41:845-848 Abstract: Background: To date little or no smartphone apps exist to differentiate between a normal heart beat and a premature ectopic beat. Aim: To develop and [...]
