FibriCheck

Every heart tells its own story.

Real stories from real people. Whether they are checking symptoms, living with a diagnosis, or staying ahead of their heart health, here is how FibriCheck helps, in their own words.

  • Since my cardioversion, I use FibriCheck to monitor my heart rhythm.

    A while ago, I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. My cardiologist recommended a cardioversion procedure, which restored my heart rhythm. Since then, I've made it a point to keep checking my heart rhythm regularly, to make sure everything is still normal. Every time I monitor it, I'm reminded how important it is to stay vigilant, as a heart rhythm condition can appear out of nowhere. This simple habit has given me peace of mind and a sense of control over my health.

  • FibriCheck helped me substantiate and confirm the diagnosis my doctor gave me.

    I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation by my doctor. The FibriCheck app gave me the possibility to get insights into my heart rhythm, simply by using my own smartphone. It reassured me that the measurement results of the app confirmed the diagnosis made by my doctor. For me it was also reassuring knowing that my measurement results were immediately shared with my doctor, who could follow up on my condition.

  • Finally I can get objective information on my heart rhythm.

    I use the FibriCheck app to keep an eye on my heart rhythm, and it gives me peace of mind every single time. The app tells me when my rhythm is regular, so I don't have to worry. Sometimes I think my heart is beating irregularly, but with the app I finally get objective information instead of relying on my own perception. What I appreciate most is that I can use the app whenever I feel something I'm unsure about. It's like having a small monitoring station in my pocket. Always available, always clear, and always honest.

  • Knowing that my symptoms are not caused by AF gives me peace of mind

    I sometimes experience a racing heartbeat, as well as chest pains and dizziness. My symptoms are only mild, so I don't want to visit a doctor each time I experience them. With the help of FibriCheck, I can take a heart rhythm measurement whenever I'm experiencing symptoms. I always get green results, meaning that my heart rhythm is regular. Knowing that AFib is not causing my symptoms reassures me and gives me peace of mind.

  • FibriCheck gave me valuable insights into my heart health.

    I started using FibriCheck after noticing that my heart wasn't beating regularly, which made me anxious. The app clearly showed that my heart was often skipping beats, known as extrasystoles. Although my cardiologist assured me these are harmless, they still affect how I feel. With the help of FibriCheck, I've gained a much better understanding of my heart rhythm and the triggers behind these skipping heartbeats. Knowing what's happening has taken away much of my worry, which is very valuable to me.

  • FibriCheck gives me immediate reassurance.

    With FibriCheck, I can gain immediate reassurance about my health. Apart from heart rhythm measurements, I can also use the blood pressure and weight modules, which help me with the management of my high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

  • Without FibriCheck, my heart condition might have gone unnoticed.

    FibriCheck has been really important for me. I had already consulted a doctor about my heart health, but at the time, nothing unusual appeared. It was thanks to FibriCheck measurements that my cardiologist decided to investigate further, leading to a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. I am also very appreciative of the partnership between FibriCheck and Belgian health insurer Helan. Being able to access the app through my healthcare plan convinced me to give it a try, a decision that ultimately helped uncover my condition.

  • More and more, I was dragging myself through the day.

    For years, Johnny searched for the cause of his extreme fatigue. Every test came back fine, but the symptoms stayed. His cardiologist prescribed FibriCheck: every morning and evening he placed his finger on his phone's camera for a minute. After three days came the confirmation, atrial fibrillation, and the results went straight to his cardiologist.

  • Measuring is knowing. There is no reason to hesitate: just do it.

    Patrick joined the blood pressure check after feeling irregular, forceful palpitations while exercising. For him it was a chance to pay a little more attention to the engine that had been ticking away for 75 years without complaint. After several measurements kept coming back with red alerts, he took his results to his GP, who referred him to a cardiologist. Further tests led to medication. Since then his palpitations are gone and his blood pressure is under control. He also found it made the visit easier: it saves the doctor time when you arrive at the consultation with results already in hand.

  • Whenever I have an irregular heart rhythm, my treating physician gets alerted.

    I like how FibriCheck is easy to use and how it clearly shows what is going on with your heart rhythm. Irregular results are checked by the FibriCheck team and are processed quickly. Whenever my measurement indicates an irregular heart rhythm, my treating physician gets alerted. This makes me feel at ease knowing that my results are being followed up.

  • Thanks to FibriCheck, doctors could take immediate action.

    I used to check FibriCheck only occasionally and everything always seemed fine. One morning however, I woke up feeling strange and lightheaded and felt a flutter in my chest. I immediately took a measurement with FibriCheck, which showed a red alert for atrial fibrillation and advised me to contact a doctor. My doctor confirmed AF with an ECG and I underwent cardioversion. Ever since, I've been using FibriCheck daily. Thanks to FibriCheck, doctors were able to intervene quickly, which helped prevent any consequences.

  • FibriCheck was instrumental in recording arrhythmia and AF that were quite random and hard to pick up in surgery. The reports helped make the case to doctors. Highly recommended.
    David, 57 · United Kingdom checking symptoms
  • I had suffered from extrasystoles for years and FibriCheck always identified them perfectly. During sport I had palpitations and felt really unwell. FibriCheck identified it as AF, and the cardiologist at the emergency department confirmed it.

  • I woke up feeling shaky in my chest. The app immediately showed red: atrial fibrillation, contact a doctor. Later that day they performed a cardioversion. Since then I use the app every day.
    Greta, 63 · Belgium checking symptoms
  • An excellent app that is so easy to use. It provides useful information at different times of the day, unlike an isolated test at the doctor's surgery. The ability to monitor regularly over a long period is very reassuring.

  • Completely accurate and professional. I have given it the acid test as I am in hospital with AFib and a rapid heartbeat. It's a godsend.
