DESCRIPTION:
Today’s video is an overview of a new product feature update announcement from Google (Fitbit). Fitbit has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a new PPG (photoplethysmography) algorithm to identify atrial fibrillation (AFib). The algorithm powers a new Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications feature on several existing Fitbit models. For deeper insight, click here: https://www.blog.google/products/fitbit/irregular-heart-rhythm-notifications/
Here’s an extract of information from the above link:
AFib is a form of irregular heart rhythm that affects nearly 33.5 million people globally, and individuals with AFib have five times higher risk of stroke. Unfortunately, AFib can be difficult to detect as there are often no symptoms and episodes can come and go.
Our new PPG AFib algorithm can passively assess your heart rhythm in the background while you’re still or asleep. If there’s anything that might be suggestive of AFib, you’ll be notified through our Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications feature — allowing you to talk with your healthcare provider or seek further assessment to help prevent a significant medical event, such as stroke.
The clinical validation for Fitbit’s PPG algorithm is supported by data from the landmark Fitbit Heart Study, which launched in 2020 and enrolled 455,699 participants over five months. The study was conducted entirely virtually during the pandemic, making it one of the largest remote studies of PPG-based software to date. Data presented at the 2021 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions found that the Fitbit PPG detections correctly identified AFib episodes 98% of the time, as confirmed by ECG patch monitors.
Because AFib can be so sporadic, the optimal way to screen for it is through heart rate tracking technology when the body is still or at rest — making overnight detection when people are asleep especially important. The unique capabilities of Fitbit devices — especially its 24/7 heart rate tracking and long battery life — give it the potential to accelerate identification through long-term heart rhythm assessment.
Now, from my point of view, there could be something going on behind the scenes. First of all, you have to be 22 years old or older and NEVER have been diagnosed with AFib in the past to activate this feature. What? Why? To me it would make sense that AFib detection, whether previously diagnosed with the condition or not, would be valuable information for a customer to know. Yet the feature remains disabled if you have had AFib. We talk about what that may mean in the video.
