How to Download the Kardia App and Use the Kardia AliveCor Device for Health Care Professionals
The expected prevalence of AF in Wessex is 97,000 people. Almost 20,000 people (20%) have not yet been diagnosed.
1 in 20 people with AF will have a stroke if not anticoagulated. In order to find this number of patients each AliveCor device needs to be used at LEAST 5 times a day with patients over 65 years of age.
Therefore the AHSN Network are undertaking a nationwide deployment and impact assessment of mobile ECG device technology, with funding from NHS England.
