Title NICE recommends AliveCor's KardiaMobile for AF detection Degree of recognition International Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 11/01/22 Description Professor Matt Reed, RCEM professor, consultant and NRS fellow in Emergency Medicine, NHS Lothian, said: “AF diagnosis rates across the UK pre-pandemic were already too low. With difficulties in accessing in-person care and increased waiting times, concern is that diagnosis rates have fallen further, leaving thousands of people at risk of life-threatening cardiovascular complications, such as an AF-related stroke. With the NHS over-stretched, it is encouraging that NICE has recognised the value of utilising smart technology to support clinicians. Today’s recommendation of KardiaMobile - a clinically-validated digital tool to allow people to monitor their heart rhythm at home, avoiding the need for hospital appointments - is a great step forward for cardiac services.” Persons Matthew Reed
