Atrial fibrillation (AF) constitutes a major risk factor for cardiovascular events, cerebral infarction, dementia, and death [The actual rate of AF detection depends on the duration of electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, but the current standard of care for post-ablation AF relies on 24-hour continuous monitoring using a conventional Holter ECG. About 50% of recurrent AF may be missed under current ECG monitoring for only 24 hours [Consumers have recently begun to use handheld devices connected to smartphone applications for self-diagnosis, but those devices tend to be unreliable and are impractical for use in a clinical setting [The recent development of a novel dry textile electrode (hitoeBased on these preliminary findings and previous studies in healthy participants [
