## Abstract ## Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Private company. Main funding source(s): Happitech. Provided the mobile photoplethysmography application ## Background Undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) poses a great risk for stroke in high-risk patients. Different screening strategies have been developed to identify these patients. Geriatric patients often have multimorbidity, and are to be considered a population at very high risk for development of AF and cardiovascular events, but may have less access to wearable screening devices. ## Purpose The Dutch multicentre study into opportunistically screening of Geriatric patients for Atrial Fibrillation using a PPG smartphone App (the Dutch-GERAF Study) applies opportunistic screening to ambulatory geriatric patients, to identify new cases of AF and optimize stroke prevention. This preliminary analysis describes the feasibility and willingness to use of a smart phone photoplethysmography (PPG) application in an ambulatory cohort. ## Method Analysis of participation data and PPG use, of all included patients aged 70 years or older within the GERAF study. The GERAF study is a multicentre study on opportunistic screeni
