Artificial intelligence-enabled atrial fibrillation detection using smartwatches: current status and future perspectives

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, but is frequently asymptomatic and intermittent; therefore, its timely diagnosis poses challenges. Early detection in selected patients may aid in stroke prevention and mitigate structural heart complications through prompt intervention.

Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Stroke Recovery Through Digital Health Solutions

DAIC

Stroke recovery is a challenging process that extends for months after hospital discharge. Issues like cognitive impairment and social determinants of health (SDOH) hurdles often go unrecognized until patients are home. After the stroke, I had new prescriptions, and this was the first obstacle for me.
