Digital monitoring and electronic patient-reported outcomes collection following atrial fibrillation ablation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a challenging condition to manage traditionally in clinical practice, and despite improvements in digital health, its impact on clinical outcomes remains uncertain.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a structured digital-blended follow-up for patients undergoing AF ablation, incorporating electronic patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) while evaluating its impact on the timing of recurrence diagnosis and reintervention.

Methods

In this retrospective observational study, we included patients enrolled in a structured 2-year digital program starting in January 2021. This featured a Web platform for physicians to record clinical variables and a patient-centered mobile application to report PROM (Atrial
