Intended purpose

The Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) History Feature is an over-the-counter ("OTC") software-only mobile medical application intended for users 22 years of age and over who have a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The feature opportunistically analyzes pulse rate data to identify episodes of irregular heart rhythms suggestive of AFib and provides the user with a retrospective estimate of AFib burden (a measure of the amount of time spent in AFib during past Apple Watch wear). The feature also tracks and trends estimated AFib burden over time, and includes lifestyle data visualizations to enable users to understand the impact of certain aspects of their lifestyle on their AFib. It is not intended to provide individual irregular rhythm notifications or to replace traditional methods of diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring of AFib. The feature is intended for use with the Apple Watch and the Health app on iPhone.
