Whether wearables can facilitate screening in older adults is not known. Methods and Analyses: The multicenter, international, investigator-initiated, singlearm case-finding Smartphone and wearable detected atrial arrhythmia in older adults case finding study (Smart in OAC - AFNET 9) evaluates the diagnostic yield of a validated, cloud-based analysis algorithm detecting atrial arrhythmias via a signal acquired by a smartphone-coupled wristband monitoring system in older adults. Unselected participants aged ≥65 years without known atrial fibrillation and not receiving oral anticoagulation are enrolled in three European countries. Participants undergo continuous pulse monitoring using a wristband with a photo plethysmography (PPG) sensor and a telecare analytic service. Participants with PPG-detected atrial arrhythmias will be offered ECG loop monitoring. The study has a virtual design with digital consent and teleconsultations, whilst including hybrid solutions. Primary outcome is the proportion of older adults with newly detected atrial arrhythmias (NCT04579159).7 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Fabritz, Larissa et al., 2022https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Fibril·lació auricularCribratgeArrítmiaPersones gransTelecomunicació en medicinaSalut en líniaAtrial fibrillationMedical screeningArrhythmiaOlder peopleTelecommunication in medicineMedical telematicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7221912023-03-01info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess9307836
