Determine AF Burden With PPG Trial - Detection and Quantification of Episodes of Atrial Fibrillation
Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation focused on measuring Wearables, AF Burden, Photoplethysmography (PPG), Atrial Fibrillation
Eligibility Criteria

- Known paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
- Patient ≥ 18 years old
- Written informed consent as documented by signature from the patient
Exclusion Criteria:
- Cardiac implanted electronic device (Pacemaker, ICD)
- Smartwatch/Bracelet and/or ECG device cannot be worn due to comprehensible reasons (allergic reactions, wounds, amputations, other)
- Patients unable or not willing to sign informed consent Significant mental or cognitive impairment
Sites / Locations
- Universitiy Hospital Basel

The Preventicus Heartbeats algorithm ist a certified tool for detection of Atrial Fibrillation. It differentiates accurately between regular rhythm, single premature beats and the absolute arrhythmia concordant with AF. The Preventicus algorithm is device-agnostic, meaning that any wearable device capable of recording PPG-signals can be used for data collection. CardioWatch 287 is a novel non-invasive monitoring device manufactured by the MMT company. The device monitors heart rhythm, heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) based on peripheral PPG signal. In this arm, we will test the quality of the algorithm integrated into the smartwatch.

A PPG-sensor is also integrated into a bracelet "Basler Band" manufactured by the MMT company, which is a simplified multisensory device. In this arm, we will test the quality of the algorithm integrated into the bracelet.
