For AFib, is there likely to be much predictive ability for the watch? Would the watch be able to warn of an onset of AFib before the wearer is aware of it? I was wondering if it was worth buying one for my dad, who has AFib attacks about 3-4 times a year.
- bayesian_horse 8y agoThe watch is probably not completely reliable, and I don't know how good it is, but from my preliminary experiments in detecting AFib I would guess the detection should be quite useful. Such a watch is probably faster and easier than any other option. Probably not as reliable as 24H ECG for catching transient AFib or a doctor-assessed ECG for manifest AFib, but a lot better than nothing.
