Will be interesting to see if Apple’s sensor provides higher fidelity than Kardia. Both are obviously just single lead and have the limitations inherent thereof.
While I’m a fanboy, I’m also skeptical. The current heart rate sensor is usually accurate, but when it’s wrong, it’s really wrong. It’s not unusual for it to double or half my actual rate. If the afib algorithm is aggressive and the sensor is noisy then ER’s and EP’s will be overwhelmed more than they already are. And remember, you have to go all in to the ecosystem as the watch itself won’t work without an iPhone.

The Irregular Rhythm Notification Feature
Quote
The Irregular Rhythm Notification Feature is a software-only mobile medical application that is intended to be used with the Apple Watch. The feature analyzes pulse rate data to identify episodes of irregular heart rhythms suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and provides a notification to the user. The feature is intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use. It is not intended to provide a notification on every episode of irregular rhythm suggestive of AFib and the absence of a notification is not intended to indicate no disease process is present; rather the feature is intended to opportunistically surface a notification of possible AFib when sufficient data are available for analysis. These data are only captured when the user is still. Along with the user’s risk factors, the feature can be used to supplement the decision for AFib screening. The feature is not intended to replace traditional methods of diagnosis or treatment.
The feature has not been tested for and is not intended for use in people under 22 years of age. It is also not intended for use in individuals previously diagnosed with AFib.
