Heart_Rhythm vs Preventicus Heartbeats.

This App is useful to know of your stroke risk, by recording of your heart rhythm on the graph. With our passion that we want to reduce cardiogenic cerebral embolism (CCE) as many as possible, we developed this app. The major cause of CCE is atrial fibrillation (Af). There are the established means of prevention and care before CCE onset. However, the problem is that Af is often without symptoms or a little symptom; therefore, few patients undergoes appropriate treatment. We wish more and more patients with Af are undergoing appropriate treatment as many as possible with the use of this app. How to use this App. *Record your heart rhythm by iPhone camera and check your stroke risk. 　Please place your tip of index or middle finger on the camera lens. 　Keep your fingertips relax and not to move while monitoring heart rhythm. 　Screen shot of your heart rhythm is taken when the heart rhythm graph is stabilized, 　and you can check of your stroke risk by comparing your pulse record against 　irregular pulse record. 　If irregular intervals were observed, please consult with a primary-care doctor. 　Normal pulse ( called sinus rhythm ) is made by regular contraction of heart. 　In contrast, arrhythmia cased by atrial fibrillation (AF) is made by irregular contraction 　of heart. *Know the mechanism of the Stroke and calculate the risk for an onset of Stroke. 　Atrial fibrillation (Af) is a very common arrhythmia. Prevalence of Af is increasing as aging. 　This is reported that some 50s may have Af, 10 percent of 80s have Af. 　Af promotes blood clotting ( thrombus ) in heart. 　Thrombus in heart sometimes blocks suddenly cerebrovascular on blood flow. 　This is called the cardiogenic cerebral embolism (CCE). 　CCE is one type of severe stroke that has high fatality rate. If survival, CCE patient 　often has serious sequela. 　Af is the most critical risk of CCE. Fortunately, now we have established means of 　prevention and cure of Af and CCE if finding Af before the onset. 　Prevention is better than cure. The most important thing is early diagnosis and early 　consult to the appropriate hospital. 　Calculate the risk using CHA2DS2-VASc Score, and you will know your annual risk rate 　and lifetime risk rate of developing CCE.. *Display hospitals around you *Planning and Development 　Planning and Development：Kensuke Igarashi M.D. Ochanomizu Medical Clinic Director 　Cooperative development：Yoshimasa Matsumoto CEO SoftRobo *Operating Environment 　iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, SE, 7, 'Plus  8, 8Plus, X, XR, XS, XS Max 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12, 12 Pro, 12 ProMax. 12 mini, 13. 13 Pro, 13 ProMax 13 mini, and later Flashlight feature is required OS Version: IOS12.0 and later.

The product is aimed at health-conscious and proactive individuals, particularly those of middle age and above, but especially those with or recovering from pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (stroke, heart attack, coronary heart disease) and sleep apnoea. It is also suitable for those with increased risks, for example due to being overweight or nicotine or alcohol consumption. GOOD TO KNOW As part of a stroke prevention programme, many health insurance providers cover the cost of the app for their policyholders and offer additional services. The highest data protection standards are a matter of course for us. Preventicus Heartbeats is one of Europe’s most rigorously validated technologies for atrial fibrillation screening, backed by more than 25 international studies. For over 10 years, it has consistently ranked among the top German health apps, with a customer satisfaction rate of over 96%. INTENDED PURPOSE The Preventicus Heartbeats app is used to detect cardiac arrhythmias in the form of a suspected diagnosis, and to determine and characterise heart rate. The following cardiac arrhythmias can be detected: absolute arrhythmia with suspected atrial fibrillation, extrasystoles and irregular heartbeats, heart rate with signs of bradycardia and tachycardia. The result obtained is only a possible suspicion (“suspected diagnosis”), not a diagnosis in the medical sense. The results obtained are for information purposes only and under no circumstances a substitute for personal diagnosis, advice, care or treatment from a medical or medically trained professional.
