Diagnosing Atrial Fibrillation (AF) post-stroke is crucial, but its intermittent nature makes detection challenging during hospitalisation.

A pilot program in NHS Lanarkshire explored a new managed service for AF screening using devices allowing 14 days of home monitoring, with reports generated by the service provider.

Interviews with clinicians and patients highlighted acceptability and the need for further exploration regarding report generation preferences.

This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare managers planning technology-enabled AF monitoring services.
