Deans' stroke musings: FibriCheck smartphone app for checking heart rhythm disorder

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

FibriCheck smartphone app for checking heart rhythm disorder

Ask your doctor about this.

The app helping to prevent stroke: FibriCheck
FibriCheck was the first smartphone app designed to detect heart rhythm disorder, without using any external medical devices, to receive a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
Co-founded by Bieke Van Gorp and Lars Grieten in Belgium, FibriCheck can help prevent stroke by detecting atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm disorders using a smartphone or smartwatch.
By placing a finger on the smartphone’s camera, the app measures a person’s heart rhythm for one minute and gives them a detailed report and immediate actionable results, reviewed by FibriCheck’s team of medical experts. Users can then track their heart rhythm history and look back on how it has changed.
FibriCheck has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and designation as a diagnostic device. It can now be used by clinicians around the world thanks to this as well as its European Conformity (CE) medical approval. Over 130,000 people have so far been screened using the app.
