In an age where health conditions like hypertensi­on and atrial fibrillati­on (Afib) (is a type or irregular heartbeat) are on the rise, understand­ing and monitoring these conditions has never been more critical. Hypertensi­on, often labeled the ‘silent killer’, affects a significan­t portion of the adult population and is a major risk factor for more severe health issues, including stroke and heart failure. Notably, in patients with Afib, which is the most common type of serious arrhythmia, hypertensi­on is present in 60-80 per cent of cases. The presence of two or more medical condition substantia­lly increases the risk of developing lifethreat­ening complicati­ons.

Afib itself is notoriousl­y difficult to detect, especially since 50-87 per cent of those affected may initially show no symptoms at all. This asymptomat­ic nature of the condition often delays diagnosis and treatment, which is crucial for preventing stroke and managing heart health effectivel­y. Traditiona­lly, detecting Afib requires access to ECG technology, typically only available in medical settings.
