DESCRIPTION:For our next talk\, in the Digital Phenotyping seminar series\
 , we will hear from Peter H. Charlton\, Senior Research Scientist at Nokia
  Bell Labs\, on Wednesday 7 May\, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm\, at the Big Data In
 stitute (BDI). \n\nTitle: Using wearables to screen for atrial fibrillatio
 n\n\nDate: Wednesday 7 May\nTime: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm\nVenue: BDI/OxPop\, Se
 minar Room 0\; followed by refreshments in the atrium\n\nAbstract: Atrial 
 fibrillation (AF) the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia\, and confe
 rs a five-fold increase in stroke risk. It is estimated that hundreds of t
 housands of people in the UK are unaware that they have AF\, and so are no
 t offered treatment to reduce their risk of stroke. Wearables may have a r
 ole to play in identifying AF\, as they can monitor the heart rhythm over 
 prolonged periods\, enabling detection of even infrequent episodes of AF. 
 In this talk\, Peter will present recent research investigating the potent
 ial role of wearables in population-level screening for AF. He will presen
 t early results from the SAFER Wearables Study on the acceptability of wea
 rables in older adults\, who are most likely to have AF. He will also pres
 ent work on increasing the accuracy of manual and automated diagnoses deri
 ved from wearable data. Finally\, he will discuss future directions for in
 tegrating wearables into clinical practice.\n\nShort bio: Peter Charlton i
 s a Senior Research Scientist at Nokia Bell Labs. He specialises in signal
  processing for wearables\, with applications in healthcare. Peter gained 
 the degree of M.Eng. in Engineering Science in 2010 from the University of
  Oxford. From 2010 to 2020\, Peter conducted his research at King’s Coll
 ege London\, developing techniques to use wearables to monitor cardiovascu
 lar and respiratory health. His Ph.D. focused on using signal processing a
 nd machine learning techniques to identify acute deteriorations in hospita
 l patients. From 2020 to 2025\, Peter developed techniques to use clinical
  and consumer devices in screening for atrial fibrillation. He led a clini
 cal study to assess the acceptability and performance of wearables in olde
 r adults.\n\nHybrid Option:\nPlease note that these meetings are closed me
 etings and only open to members of the University of Oxford. Please respec
