Atrial fibrillation (AF) will become one of the biggest challenges in cardiovascular medicine in the near future. Attempting an improvement in future patient care calls explicitly for the screening of subclinical AF. Digital health solutions implementing communication technologies for the collection and analysis of digitally assessable data will most likely serve this need. Several new rapidly developing methods were introduced in the past decade. Although the vast majority still require scientific validation, the body of evidence is growing and several randomized controlled trials are planned. This review aims to give an overview of current technologies with a specific focus on mobile health (mHealth) and appraise their value with regard to the available scientific data.

在不久的将来，心房颤动 (AF) 将成为心血管医学的最大挑战之一。尝试改善未来的患者护理明确要求筛查亚临床 AF。采用通信技术收集和分析可数字评估数据的数字健康解决方案很可能会满足这一需求。过去十年中引入了几种快速发展的新方法。尽管绝大多数仍需要科学验证，但证据越来越多，并且计划进行几项随机对照试验。本综述旨在概述当前的技术，特别关注移动健康 (mHealth)，并根据可用的科学数据评估它们的价值。
