| Patient outcomes: 1. Performance in activities of daily living measured using the Barthel Index at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. 2. General health measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. 3. Anxiety measured using the General Anxiety Disorder (GAD)-7 at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. 4.

Modified European Heart Rhythm Association (mEHRA) symptom score measured at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. 7. Treatment burden questionnaire measured at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. 8. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) measured at baseline and 12 months. 9. Participant ‘intervention acceptability’ survey measured at one-month. 10. Participant interviews, conducted with a sub-sample of patients to explore intervention acceptability at one-month. Outcomes measured in staff involved in training participants to use the smart bands: 11. Staff interviews to explore challenges in delivery of the training to participants to use the smart bands, time taken (to deliver the intervention and ongoing support with the system provided to the patient), unexpected benefits and/or consequences, and recommendations for improvement at six months. 12. Staff ‘intervention acceptability’ survey measured at baseline. | — |
