Scientific Breakthrough |
"The major breakthrough technology of video-based atrial fibrillation detection is only with a general camerawithout an EKGwearable device. This technology can be integrated into personal devices, such as smartphones, tablets,PC. Through a camera on personal devices to capture the face imagethen detect whether the atrial fibrillation happenednot.
The IRB result in the En Chu Kong Hospital revealed that the proposed new technology is not only more convenient to use but has high detection accuracy even matching the existing solutions in diagnosing atrial fibrillation."

Industrial Applicability |
Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia. 17 of patients have no obvious symptoms,three-quarters of patients do not know that they are sick at all before diagnosis. Therefore, atrial fibrillation is very difficult to detect. Atrial fibrillation is often discovered after a stroke happened. The technology "Contact-Free Screening for Cardiac PulseAtrial Fibrillation Detection" can provide ordinary people, sub-healthy groups,patients with atrial fibrillation for their daily health records,follow-up disease records after surgery.
