mHealth Screening to Prevent Strokes (mSToPS)
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.

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.
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.
