In January 2022, the results of a demonstration experiment using the atrial fibrillation app to prevent forgetting to take medication were reported in the academic journal JMIR mHealth and uHealth. Among them, the atrial fibrillation app was proven to be effective in preventing forgetting to take medication. (Conducted at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine. IRB number: ERB-C-1429)

Have you ever been worried about forgetting to take your daily medicine, such as "I heard an explanation about atrial fibrillation in the doctor's office, but I want to check it again"?

There is a lot of information about the disease on the Internet, but some of it is incorrect.
With this app, you can always repeat and learn about diseases and medicines with commentary videos by doctors. In addition, to prevent forgetting to take a dose, it also has a function to remind you to take your medicine at a set time every day, and a calendar function to record the date of your next medical examination and taking your medicine.

The risk of cerebral infarction due to atrial fibrillation can be reduced (or prevented) by taking medicines correctly. Please use the app to correctly understand atrial fibrillation and get along well with it.

[Development background]
This time, we have developed a smartphone application equipped with "knowledge about atrial fibrillation" and "medication calendar function" for patients with atrial fibrillation.

Correct oral administration of anticoagulants is very important for the prevention of cerebral infarction. Many patients discontinue. It is also said that a 10% increase in the number of people who forget to take their medications is associated with a 13% increase in mortality and cerebral infarction rates. In order to reduce as much as possible the onset of cerebral infarction and death, which could have been prevented by correct medication, it is necessary to have a correct knowledge of atrial fibrillation and an understanding of the importance of continued oral administration.

Since there are many explanations about anticoagulant therapy in the examination room, even if the explanation is understood at the time of explanation, the memory may become vague later, and the correct knowledge may not be shared with family members and caregivers. I think there is. In this app, you can learn about the disease, such as why atrial fibrillation is a risk of cerebral infarction and the side effects of taking medication, in an easy-to-understand manner through videos.
In addition, you can prevent forgetting to take medicine and maintain motivation with a reminder function that notifies you to take medicine at a set time and a calendar function that registers the status of taking medicine.

The app is very convenient because you can immediately look it up when you have a question, and you can carry it anywhere. We have made the screen easy-to-read and easy-to-understand operability so that it can be used by people of all ages.
