Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the added value of mobile health (mHealth) to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) early in the care path of cryptogenic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients.

Detailed description

The use of photoplethysmography (PPG)-based mHealth (with smartphone and smartwatch) is compared to the guideline-recommended insertable loop recorders (ILR) in the detection of AF in cryptogenic stroke or TIA patients.

Conditions

• Cryptogenic Stroke
• Atrial Fibrillation

Interventions
