Better Outcomes for Anticoagulation Treatment Through Observation of Atrial Rhythm (BOAT OAR)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Alive Cor Kardia mobile electrocardiogram monitor for Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
There is a need to determine actual compliance of direct oral anticoagulants and how to improve this to reduce risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Mobile health tools have been implemented world-wide in various patient populations as means of reducing cardiovascular risk and improving disease management. Results of these interventions have been mixed with some interventions demonstrating significant improvement while others demonstrated no difference between the intervention group and the control group. More importantly, these studies indicate that implementation of mobile health tools is feasible in various patient populations and it may just be a matter of finding the correct intervention for a given disease state. The aim of this study is to increase awareness of atrial fibrillation as a means of improving compliance with anticoagulant medication.
