Heart_Rhythm 4.2

This application serves as a valuable tool for assessing your risk of a stroke by monitoring your heart rhythm graphically.

Driven by our commitment to minimizing the occurrence of cardiogenic cerebral embolism (CCE), we have meticulously developed this application. A prevalent cause of CCE is atrial fibrillation (Af), for which established preventive measures and care exist prior to CCE onset.

However, Af commonly presents with subtle or no symptoms, leading to inadequate treatment among patients. Our goal is to facilitate the appropriate treatment of as many Af patients as possible through the use of this application.

How to Utilize This Application:

• Record your heart rhythm by using the iPhone camera to assess your stroke risk.
  • Place your index or middle finger on the camera lens.
  • Keep your fingertips relaxed and stable while monitoring your heart rhythm.
  • A screenshot of your heart rhythm will be captured once the graph stabilizes, allowing you to compare your pulse record with irregular pulse patterns to evaluate your stroke risk.
• Understand the mechanism of strokes and calculate your risk of experiencing a stroke onset, particularly in relation to atrial fibrillation (Af).
• Access information on hospitals in your vicinity.

Planning and Development:

• Kensuke Igarashi, M.D. – Director, Ochanomizu Medical Clinic
• Yoshimasa Matsumoto – CEO, SoftRobo

Operating Environment:

• This application is supported on iPhone models 6 and later, including SE and all subsequent versions up to iPhone 13 series.
• The device must have a flashlight feature, and the minimum required OS version is iOS 12.0.
