New Study Published: Innovative Monitoring for Early Detection of Atrial Fibrillation (NOTE-AF)

  • 13 March 2026

The TARGET project is excited to announce the publication of a new paper titled "Intelligent Monitoring to Predict Atrial Fibrillation (NOTE-AF): Clinical Study 1 for the 'Health Virtual Twins for the Personalized Management of Stroke Related to Atrial Fibrillation (TARGET)' Project – A Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Analysis" in BMJ Open.

This paper introduces NOTE-AF, the first clinical study of the TARGET project, which focuses on improving the prediction and prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF), a leading cause of stroke. The study aims to develop personalized methods for identifying at-risk patients, allowing for early intervention and better management of AF-related complications.

The research, conducted in collaboration with two tertiary medical centres, follows 1,200 patients using a remote monitoring system to gather clinical data. The goal is to create models that help predict the onset of AF in patients who are hospitalized with acute conditions or undergoing high-risk surgery.

Being published in BMJ Open highlights the growing impact of the TARGET project and its contribution to advancing clinical research in the field of atrial fibrillation and stroke prevention.
