AFib Detection Made Easy: OMRON's Innovative Technology for Better Patient Care

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common but often undetected heart condition with serious risks. OMRON’s new IntelliSense AFib technology, integrated into their blood pressure monitors, enables real-time detection of irregular heart rhythms, offering continuous, non-invasive monitoring. This innovation empowers healthcare professionals to support their patients in identifying AFib early, even outside clinical settings, thereby enhancing heart health management.

What is AFib?

Atrial fibrillation is a type of irregular heartbeat affecting millions worldwide. Characterised by rapid and chaotic electrical signals in the heart, AFib can lead to severe complications, including stroke and heart failure. Despite its prevalence, many individuals are unaware they have AFib until more serious health issues arise.




Early Signs of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)

  1. Heart palpitations– Irregular, rapid, or fluttering heartbeats.

  2. Fatigue or weakness– Persistent feelings of tiredness or low energy.

  3. Shortness of breath– Difficulty breathing, especially during physical activity or while lying down.

  4. Dizziness or light-headedness– Sensations of faintness, dizziness, or light-headedness.

With AFib often going undetected in its early stages, the introduction of OMRON’s IntelliSense AFib technology marks a significant advancement in home health monitoring.


OMRON’s New IntelliSense AFib Technology

As a leader in blood pressure monitors and cardiovascular health devices, OMRON's IntelliSense AFib technology offers healthcare providers an essential tool for addressing this underdiagnosed condition. OMRON’s innovation reduces the need for separate AFib-specific assessments, providing seamless, regular monitoring to support patients’ ongoing care plans.

How IntelliSense AFib Technology Works

OMRON’s IntelliSense AFib technology leverages AI-powered Pulse Wave Pressure (PPW) analysis to calculate blood pressure values while simultaneously detecting AFib. PPW, a waveform that reflects arterial pressure changes, allows IntelliSense to identify subtle variations in pulse patterns associated with AFib. This non-invasive and convenient approach gives patients dual monitoring of both blood pressure and heart rhythm, providing actionable alerts and timely insights that can prompt early medical intervention and enhance long-term heart health.

Why Trust IntelliSense AFib Technology?
IntelliSense AFib technology is grounded in advanced machine learning techniques, using a unique AI-powered algorithm refined through the analysis of thousands of ECG readings and pulse pressure wave clinical data points. This approach, validated in collaboration with medical professionals, has achieved a sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 98%, underscoring its precision and reliability in early AFib detection.


 

Key Features of OMRON’s IntelliSense AFib Technology


  • Monitors both blood pressure and detects signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib) during routine measurements, offering a comprehensive view of heart health.

  • Pulse Wave Pressure Analysis: Utilises PPW technology to detect AFib, analysing arterial pressure variations to capture early signs of irregular heartbeat patterns.

  • Irregular Heartbeat Detection: Advanced sensors identify irregular heart rhythms, aiding in the early detection of potential AFib episodes, even in asymptomatic patients.

  • AFib-Specific Alerts: Device alerts specifically notify users of detected AFib episodes, enabling timely action and consultation with healthcare professionals.

  • Clinical-Grade Accuracy: OMRON’s IntelliSense technology provides precise blood pressure readings and AFib detection, validated to meet strict clinical accuracy standards.

  • Easy-to-Use Interface: User-friendly design and large displays make it simple for patients to understand blood pressure readings and AFib notifications.

  • Regular and Continuous Monitoring: Supports consistent, at-home monitoring, helping to identify intermittent AFib episodes that may not appear during routine check-ups.
