Interesting concept. Basically the main use case in the demo video seems to be assessing the QTc in patients on sotalol and potentially uptitrating the dose? I’m surprised people are kept in hospital for three days to just check qtc for sotalol. I wonder if this is a US only thing because it doesn’t happen where I work. Also the video doesn’t make it clear which QT correction formula you use. If you’re using your own correction formula for AF is it published and validated?

Great pickup - yes indeed, inpatient admission for drug initiation has been the standard for too long (30 years to be precise). We use the standard Fridericia formula preferred for assessing drug risk, but we also use Bazett correction for algorithm validation as it is used more often clinically
