Wearable AF Screening Algorithms Face Stricter Real-World Study Framework

Regulatory draft requires real-world false positive rates and follow-up cost reporting; smaller vendors concerned about compliance burden.

Wearable atrial fibrillation screening algorithms face stricter regulatory requirements, with real-world data becoming a new threshold.

Draft Requirements

1. Real-World False Positive Rate

Definition: Proportion of algorithm-predicted AF that was actually sinus rhythm

Reporting content:

  • Median false positive rate and percentiles (50%/75%/90%)
  • Follow-up confirmation rate
  • Follow-up examination cost percentiles

2. Follow-up Cost Assessment

Cost components:

  • ECG re-examination fees
  • 24-hour Holter monitoring
  • Doctor consultation fees
  • Patient transportation and time costs

Industry Reactions

Large Enterprises

Large medical device companies have health economics teams ready.

Small/Medium Vendor Concerns

  1. Broken data chains: Historical data not systematically collected
  2. High follow-up costs: Active follow-up requires dedicated staff
  3. Indication contraction: May be required to restrict applicable populations
