Predicting atrial fibrillation and stroke with an ePatch

Atrial fibrillation is the world’s most common cardiac arrhythmia. It significantly increases the risk of stroke, dementia, and heart failure, but frequently goes undetected. Philips ePatch contains sensors that continuously record and store the patient's heart activity, day and night, for up to 14 days. The recorded data is then retrieved and analyzed by AI-based software that searches for irregularities which indicate heart arrhythmia and can even predict disease before it happens.  Philips monitoring solutions allow uninterrupted monitoring and cloud-based data collection and analysis through the entire patient journey, from home to hospital and back home.
