Overview of the Observational Trials and Data Sets Analyzed in This Study

Trial / Data Set Inclusion Criteria Dropout (No. of Patients) Recording Duration Measurement Condition Types of Data Reference Analytical Purpose
ECV (n=20) AF patients admitted for electrical cardioversion Atrial flutter (2) 1 h before and 1 h after cardioversion In‐hospital bed rest Wrist PPG
ECG
Visual inspection of single‐lead ECG Fine‐tuning (50%) and holdout testing (50%) of the AF detection algorithm
HOL (n=40) Patients diagnosed with paroxysmal or persistent AF prescribed for ECG Holter Atrial flutter (5)
Atrial tachycardia (1)
24 to 48 h Daily life Wrist PPG
ECG
Visual inspection of 12‐lead ECG Fine‐tuning (50%) and holdout testing (50%) of the AF detection algorithm
Healthy Control I to V (n=120) Assess the likelihood of false‐positive AF detection
Trial I (n=18) 18 to 65 y, M/F healthy adults None 3 times 24 h Daily life Wrist PPG Not available
Trial II (n=17) 40 to 65 y, M/F healthy adults None 2 times 8 to 10 h Bedtime monitoring Wrist PPG Not available
Trial III (n=25) 18 to 65 y, M/F healthy adults None 24 h Daily life Wrist PPG Not available
Trail IV (n=46) 18 to 65 y, M/F healthy adults working in clinical environment None 3 times 24 h Daily life (home and work shift) Wrist PPG Not available
Trial V (n=14) 18 to 65 y, M/F professional truck drivers None 5 to 7 d repeated up to 3 times Daily life (home and on‐road shift) Wrist PPG Not available
MIT‐BIH AF (n=25) Patients with AF mostly paroxysmal AF event <1 min (1) 10 h Daily life ECG Visual inspection of ECG Accuracy assessment for transient AF events

AF indicates atrial fibrillation; ECV, electrical cardioversion; HOL, Holter cohort; MIT‐BIH AF, Massachusetts Institute of Technology‐Beth Israel Hospital Atrial Fibrillation Database; M/F, male/female; PPG, photo‐plethysmography.
