A novel smartphone-PPG method can be used by patients unsupervised at home to achieve accurate heart rhythm diagnostics of AF and AFL with very high sensitivity and specificity. This smartphone-PPG device can be used as an independent heart rhythm diagnostic device following cardioversion, without requirement of confirmation with ECG.
