mHealth Screening to Prevent Strokes
- Conditions
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Registration Number
- NCT02506244
- Lead Sponsor
- Scripps Translational Science Institute
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to identify a high-risk cohort suitable for screening for asymptomatic atrial fibrillation using claims data, and then engage those individuals in a mobile health technology-enabled home monitoring program in order to document previously undiagnosed atrial fibrillation, and provide clinical evidence of an outcomes benefit associated with this early detection.
- Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to propose to study two different methods of intermittent rhythm monitoring in a cohort of individuals without prior history of atrial fibrillation, but determined to be at increased risk based on clinical risk factors, and compare the rate of atrial fibrillation detection through monitoring relative to routine care.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of Newly Diagnosed AF in the Immediate vs Delayed Monitoring Group End of 4 month monitoring period Incidence of newly diagnosed AF as defined by at least 30 seconds of AF or atrial flutter at the end of the 4 month monitoring period compared to the delayed monitoring cohort (primary) and observational control (secondary)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation in Both Monitoring Groups Versus the Matched Controls 1 year In the observational study, over 12 months of follow-up, we looked at the prevalence of AF in the actively monitored and delayed monitored cohorts.
