| Title: | DIGITAL, RISK-BASED SCREENING FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION IN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY |
| Project Description: | AFFECT-EU`s major goal is the development of a risk-based, accurate, and ready for implementation atrial fibrillation screening algorithm, using digital devices, for early AF detection in the community. AFFECT-EU will fill in the AF screening knowledge gaps by integrating information from independent studies entering the project. These data will be used to implement a risk-based AF screening approach and to provide evidence on the superiority of AF screening using a robust community screening strategy for reducing AF-related morbidity and mortality.

| Methodology description: | AFFECT-EU will develop the first targeted, risk-based AF screening algorithm, and thus contribute to the reduction of AF related health inequities, morbidity and mortality in Europe. |
