A 2017 study of nearly 95,000 stroke victims with previously known Atrial Fibrillation found that 84% of patients were not on appropriate guideline-recommended preventative therapy.
That’s 79,000 strokes that could have been prevented.
Today, 8 out of 10 individuals living with Atrial Fibrillation may not be on guideline-recommended preventative therapy.
When patients are at the hospital ER, in front of clinicians, our health system is presented with a critical opportunity to get them on guideline treatment and on a path to successfully managing their AFib. We believe technology can play a pivotal role in allowing healthcare providers to safely and effectively manage AFib and prevent stroke.
By using technology to facilitate guideline-based care, we believe we can save lives, improve outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.
