OMRON Healthcare introduced home blood pressure monitors with built-in AI-powered detection of atrial fibrillation. They feature the company's new machine learning IntelliSense AFib algorithm, which will automatically check for AFib during every blood pressure measurement.
OMRON IntelliSense AFib incorporates more than 300 mathematical indices into a machine learning algorithm that analyzes the Pressure Pulse Wave generated as the blood pressure monitor cuff inflates. A clinical study published in the October 2024 Heart Rhythm Journal found that OMRON blood pressure monitors with Intellisense AFib can detect disturbances specific to AFib with remarkable accuracy.
The FDA granted OMRON Healthcare medical-device authorization for Intellisense AFib via the agency's De Novo classification, a regulatory pathway for first-of-their-kind innovations.
With the launch of blood pressure monitors with Intellisense AFib, OMRON introduced an AFib education hub that explains the condition, its risk factors, and common symptoms. OMRON's AFib education hub provides details on how Intellisense AFib works and how OMRON developed the innovation as part of its Going for Zero mission.
AFib education extends to the OMRON Connect app, which syncs with every Intellisense AFib blood pressure monitor via Bluetooth to iOS and Android devices. OMRON Connect charts user readings by the day, week, month and year. The app analyzes a user's trends and habits, presents insights to explain data, and provides daily reminders and progress reports. With OMRON Connect, a user can send heart health readings to a doctor.
