Digital risk-based screening for atrial fibrillation in the European Community (AFFECT-EU) (WP4, 5, 6).

The AFFECT-EU project is a Horizon 2020 funded project. It involves 26 partners from 14 EU countries. The major goal of this project is to develop an accurate, risk-based and ready for implementation AF screening algorithm using digital devices, for early detection and reduction of AF-related health inequities, morbidity and mortality in Europe. The University of Antwerp (i.e. the research group of Prof. Dr. Hein Heidbuchel and dr. Lien Desteghe) will perform various scientific tasks on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.
