SENSITIVITY OF IRREGULAR RHYTHM NOTIFICATION FEATURE [IRNF] Primary · 13 DAYS

Sensitivity of the irregular rhythm notification for the identification of persons with AF by 13-day ambulatory ECG, with AF defined as at least 30 seconds of AF by ambulatory ECG. Sensitivity is defined as the percentage of subjects exhibiting AF on the ambulatory ECG who also received an irregular rhythm notification concordant with at least one episode of AF.

SPECIFICITY OF LACK OF IRREGULAR RHYTHM NOTIFICATIONS FEATURE [IRNF] Primary · 13 DAYS

Specificity of the lack of irregular rhythm notification for the identification of persons without AF by 13-day ambulatory ECG, with AF defined as at least 30 seconds of AF by ambulatory ECG. Specificity is defined as the percentage of subjects not exhibiting AF on the ambulatory ECG who also did not receive any irregular rhythm notifications.

WEEKLY ATRIAL FIBRILLATION BURDEN FEATURE ESTIMATE [AFBF] Primary · 13 DAYS

Weekly AF burden estimate defined as the percentage of time a subject is in Atrial Fibrillation during wrist device wear over the prior 7 consecutive days. The weekly AF burden was estimated by both the reference device and the algorithm and reported using the Bland-Altman limits of Agreement.
