Digital Health-Enabled Monitoring Strategies for Atrial Fibrillation Detection after Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Implantable Loop Recorders, Wearable Devices, and Usual Care
Digital health-enabled ILR monitoring is likely cost-effective for AF detection after ESUS, particularly in high-risk patients. Wearables may serve as an adjunct but deliver lower value. Results support targeted ILR implementation in post-ESUS care pathways and integration into digital health-driven guideline and reimbursement frameworks.
