Assessing the accuracy of an automated atrial fibrillation detection algorithm using smartphone technology: The iREAD Study

The Kardia Mobile Cardiac Monitor (KMCM) detects atrial fibrillation (AF) via a handheld cardiac rhythm recorder and AF detection algorithm. The algorithm operates within predefined parameters to provide a “normal” or “possible atrial fibrillation detected” interpretation; outside of these parameters, an “unclassified” rhythm is reported. The system has been increasingly used, but its performance has not been independently tested.
