Scan & Optimization of Decision Aids for Atrial Fibrillation
Researchers here at the University of Utah collaborated with the Mayo Clinic to identify existing tools that help patients with a common heart rhythm problem (AFib) and their doctors discuss ways to prevent strokes. Experts and patients reviewed these tools and identified features that were modified and added to create two new tools.
One tool is used by patients on their own; one tool is used by patients with their clinician. These tools are currently being tested in the RED-AF project led by Dr. Elissa M. Ozanne.
