Before doing an expensive and inaccurate field experiment, we can calculate the expected cost per QALJ [1] by taking the following variables:
- Estimated accuracy and recall of the test
- Estimated probability of user doing a follow-up based on feedback from watch
- Estimated price of a doctors visit
- Estimated probability of a follow-up test using medical grade equipment (based on additional data)
- Estimated cost per QALJ of the extra test and follow-ups
- Estimated prevalence of arrhythmia among Apple Watch users based on age-group
I expect, but do not know, the Apple Watch tests to prove to be a net-negative compared to doing nothing.
