Enhanced AF Detection Using Apple Watch | JACC Author Interview

JACC is pleased to publish this study from authors Nicole J. van Steijn, MD and Michiel M. Winter MD, PhD, featuring the results of integrating Apple Watch monitoring into a clinical workflow. In this video interview accompanying the article, JACC: Associate Editor Xiaoxi Yao, PhD, MPH, MS joins first author Nicole van Steijn, MD, to discuss how findings led to a fourfold increase in early atrial fibrillation detection among high risk patients. Timely ECG review within an established e health program enabled rapid diagnosis and highlights the importance of infrastructure and reimbursement for scalable use of wearable technologies. The conversation explores how consumer wearables may play an expanding role in AF screening, stroke prevention, and future cardiovascular care.
