dc.description.abstractWorldwide, there is a need to reduce healthcare costs. In this context, wearable technologies are being targeted as one of the major tools of value-based self-monitoring and large screening healthcare systems. Portable Holter monitoring systems, which represent a global market of more than 150 million U.S. dollars, [1] are used to monitor patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases. The most common form of cardiac arrhythmia, affecting more than 10% of the population aged over 80 years, [2] is Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Years of research in system design and signal processing have been necessary to bring wrist-located optical devices to a state able to accurately monitor cardiac activity. [3] During the Nano-Tera project miniHOLTER, the feasibility of using such devices for the detection of AF was investigated. The present study constitutes the first clinical evidence of reliable AF detection using a wrist-located optical device.
