Atrial fibrillation is the most common undetected cardiac arrhythmia. Conventional examination methods often deliver false findings, or 70 percent of atrial fibrillation attacks go unnoticed by those affected. As a result, the condition usually goes untreated and is one of the most common causes of stroke. The probability of developing the disease increases continuously from the age of 40. From the age of 65, around 10 percent of people are affected. A lack of diagnosis usually leads to dangerous secondary diseases, including stroke. Current methods require wearing uncomfortable and usually bulky devices. These are of limited use in everyday life. Numerous other devices, while easy to wear or use, capture only 10- or 20-second intervals of cardiac activity. This is insufficient for detecting atrial fibrillation.
The 24sens smartcorCONTROL chest strap is an innovation that combines smart textile with intelligent software - lightweight and comfortable to wear under clothing, ideal for long-term recording 24/7. The heart activities are permanently recorded every 500th of a second. The data is stored via an onboard unit, which is connected to the chest strap via a pressure lock. Software based on mathematical transformations and in which an AI model is created is used to process the data. The medical device is equipped with a noise filter, which screens out input data with noise and ensures high quality data. The software detects areas of atrial fibrillation and visualizes the detected sections in an ECG diagram. Subsequently, this data can be used directly by the treating physicians for pre-diagnosis. The data immediately reveals the areas in which potential critical cardiac activity has been detected, thus speeding up the physician's evaluation to a considerable degree.
