OSA, AFib
Brief summary
This study aims to guide participants in recognizing their OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) and AFib (atrial fibrillation) symptoms, realizing what medical conditions can cause these symptoms (if any) and inform the participants on their possible diagnosis
Detailed description
The primary objective is to analyze how many patients at risk of medical conditions will be converted to a health care professional by a smartphone application. Historical data (number of patients at risk of OSA and/or AFib that seeked help for their condition in the past year) from institute will be used as a reference. We will refer to this as the 'baseline conversion rate', reflecting the natural transition of patients in the general healthcare system.
