Study Description

Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to identify a high-risk cohort suitable for screening for asymptomatic atrial fibrillation using claims data, and then engage those individuals in a mobile health technology-enabled home monitoring program in order to document previously undiagnosed atrial fibrillation, and provide clinical evidence of an outcomes benefit associated with this early detection.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Atrial Fibrillation Device: iRhythm ZIO XT Patch Device: Wristband by Amiigo Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to propose to study two different methods of intermittent rhythm monitoring in a cohort of individuals without prior history of atrial fibrillation, but determined to be at increased risk based on clinical risk factors, and compare the rate of atrial fibrillation detection through monitoring relative to routine care.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Immediate Monitoring

Individuals randomized to immediate monitoring will receive the ZIO XT patch sensor and wear it for the first and last 2 week period of the 4 month monitoring period of time 0 to 4 months.

Note: Approximately 250 consenting participants will also be invited to participate in a sub-study to wear an additional monitoring device (Amiigo wristband) continuously over the 4 month monitoring period.

 Device: iRhythm ZIO XT Patch
Single-lead ECG monitoring via a wearable patch

Device: Wristband by Amiigo
Determines pulse rate using photoplethysmography.
Active Comparator: Delayed Monitoring

Individuals randomized to delayed monitoring will receive usual care for 4 months after which they will receive the ZIO XT patch sensor and wear it for the first and last 2 week period of study months 4 through 8.

Note: Approximately 250 consenting participants will also be invited to participate in a sub-study to wear an additional monitoring device (Amiigo wristband) daily for months 4 through 8.

 Device: iRhythm ZIO XT Patch
Single-lead ECG monitoring via a wearable patch

Device: Wristband by Amiigo
Determines pulse rate using photoplethysmography.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of newly diagnosed AF [ Time Frame: End of 4 month monitoring period ]
    Incidence of newly diagnosed AF as defined by at least 30 seconds of AF or atrial flutter at the end of the 4 month monitoring period compared to the delayed monitoring cohort (primary) and observational control (secondary)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Prevalence of atrial fibrillation [ Time Frame: 1 year ]

    Comparison of the rate of newly diagnosed AF in the entire monitored cohort compared to that in the matched cohort.

    Difference in healthcare utilization/costs.


  2. Time to first event of the combined endpoint of stroke, systemic emboli, or MI in patients diagnosed with AF in monitored vs. control cohorts. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Clinical outcomes will be determined using claims data and compared between the monitored and observational cohorts.

  3. Difference in total healthcare costs in AF cohorts of monitored and controls [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Evaluation if there is a difference in healthcare costs with monitored individuals compared to controls with respect to AF
