Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to identify a high-risk cohort suitable for screening for asymptomatic atrial fibrillation using claims data, and then engage those individuals in a mobile health technology-enabled home monitoring program in order to document previously undiagnosed atrial fibrillation, and provide clinical evidence of an outcomes benefit associated with this early detection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to propose to study two different methods of intermittent rhythm monitoring in a cohort of individuals without prior history of atrial fibrillation, but determined to be at increased risk based on clinical risk factors, and compare the rate of atrial fibrillation detection through monitoring relative to routine care.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Immediate Monitoring

Individuals randomized to immediate monitoring will receive the ZIO XT patch sensor and wear it for the first and last 2 week period of the 4 month monitoring period of time 0 to 4 months.

Note: Approximately 250 consenting participants will also be invited to participate in a sub-study to wear an additional monitoring device (Amiigo wristband) continuously over the 4 month monitoring period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

iRhythm ZIO XT Patch

Intervention Type DEVICE

Single-lead ECG monitoring via a wearable patch

Wristband by Amiigo

Intervention Type DEVICE

Determines pulse rate using photoplethysmography.

Delayed Monitoring

Individuals randomized to delayed monitoring will receive usual care for 4 months after which they will receive the ZIO XT patch sensor and wear it for the first and last 2 week period of study months 4 through 8.

Note: Approximately 250 consenting participants will also be invited to participate in a sub-study to wear an additional monitoring device (Amiigo wristband) daily for months 4 through 8.
