Abstract

BACKGROUND: Machine learning-based analysis can accurately detect atrial fibrillation (AF) from photoplethysmograms (PPGs), however the computational requirements for analyzing raw PPG waveforms can be significant. The analysis of PPG-derived peak-to-peak intervals may offer a more feasible solution for smartphone deployment, provided the diagnostic utility is comparable.
