Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated a new way to screen for atrial fibrillation (AF) using an iPhone camera to detect changes in skin color that signal heartbeats, without needing physical contact.*
-
- Researchers measured photoplethysmographic signals from 217 hospitalized patients, comparing results with traditional ECG readings; the new method showed high sensitivity (95%) and specificity (96%) in identifying AF.*
-
- The findings suggest that using the Cardiio Rhythm app for facial signal detection is a feasible and convenient option for AF screening, offering promising predictive values for accurate results.*
