Awario for Health Care

Systematic Atrial Fibrillation screening in elderly care and remote arrhythmia monitoring for patients with rhythm disorders.

Systematic Atrial Fibrillation screening in elderly care and risk groups

According to the 2020 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation (AF), systematic ECG screening should be considered to detect atrial fibrillation in persons aged >75years, or persons at high risk of stroke.

Home care providers, who aim at reducing costs related to stroke, have included Awario screening for atrial fibrillation in their care routine for residents aged >75years, or persons at high risk of stroke (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, previous stroke, TIA or heart attack).

Remote arrhythmia monitoring for patients with rhythm disorders

Remote arrhythmia monitoring can be used for follow-up of patients with rhythm disorders to detect, diagnose and treat the four most common arrhythmias as well as before or after heart procedures.
Measurements can be done for a specific period regularly a few times per day or when the patient has heart symptoms, anytime, anywhere. Remote monitoring reduces the number of unnecessary health care visits and costs.

Ambulatory or intermittent arrhythmia follow up

For arrhythmia follow up, traditionally the patient’s ECG has been monitored during a period of 24 or 48 hours; ambulatory ECG. This means that if the patient doesn’t have any arrhythmias during the ECG monitoring period, the arrhythmia might not be diagnosed.
The modern Awario technology allows for intermittent ECG monitoring; 3-4 measurements/day during 3-4 weeks. Some studies show a significantly higer diagnostic yield for intermittent monitoring.

The Awario Portal is a cloud-based patient monitoring system that allows healthcare professionals to diagnose, manage and treat patients remotely. It provides health care professionals with a quick overview of ECG recordings and helps to accelerate clinical decisions in diagnosing arrhythmias. Awario can be seamlessly integrated with the Health Care providers monitoring systems giving access to real-time ECGs.

Awario reduces the MDs workload - a study with 3284 ECG measurements.

Awario reduces the 86 % of the Medical Doctors (MD) workload in analysing ECGs. The reason is that without the help of AI, the MD needs to also analyse all ECGs, including the normal ones. Awario analytics analyses the ECGs and detects automatically the arrhythmia cases (14% = 460 arrhythmias). This means that instead of analysing 3284 ECGs the MDs workload is reduced to analyse the 460 ECGs with arrhythmia.
Awario reduces significantly the MDs workload in analysing ECGs by selecting only the arrhythmia cases and the MD can focus on treatment instead.

Services for health care professionals

Awario® Event for Remote Arrhythmia Monitoring

The Awario Event service is intended for patients who have feelings of arrhythmia but the cause of the sensation has not been diagnosed. The patient is lent an Awario Care measuring device to take home for the duration of the remote monitoring period. He or she can also perform the measurements with the device they have purchased. A healthcare professional can monitor measurement results remotely via the Awario Portal. Our system is designed to reduce the time spent going through clinically irrelevant ECG reports.

Awario® Screen for Arrhythmia Screening

The Awario Screen service provides an efficient and medically reliable way to check and diagnose heart rhythm without sending the patient for a 12-channel ECG measurement. With the Awario Screen service, asymptomatic atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias can be easily screened at the reception, during vaccinations, at home care, or in any healthcare facility. The service can also be used to identify symptomatic arrhythmia. With the help of a small, easy-to-carry measuring device, the use of the service is effortless for a healthcare professional. ECG reports can be transferred to the patient information system and viewed by a physician. Our scientifically selected intelligent algorithms identify four different types of arrhythmias.
