An opportunity to help and take part in a new study?

[TracyAdmin]

Would you like to take part in a new study?

The AFFIRMO project is a collation of several sub-projects and open to all candidates with the following attributes:

If you are aged 65+ have Atrial Fibrillation and live in the UK or EU, then we would like your help.

We have been approached by The University of Manchester to recruit individuals with Atrial Fibrillation to provide an input for a new digital (on-line) health intervention. This digital intervention will use a mobile app that provides customised content relating to atrial fibrillation.

You will be required to attend a 60-90 minute virtual (on-line) workshop to take part in the study. For further details, you can visit affirmo.eu/

If you are keen to find out more details, then please contact: Mr S Antrobus

Thank you for your support and time, it really is much appreciated.

Thanks Tracy. I assume that this call for participants is separate from AFFIRMO WP4 (Work Package 4) study? I've put my name "in the hat" anyway.

I do apologise for any confusion, yes, there are currently x 2 branches of the AFFIRMO study running simultaneously., and yes, you are welcome to take part in both if you so wish:

AF Association - AFFIRMO Study WP4 – the Delphi Process

AF Association – AFFIRMO Study - a mobile App to support digital (on-line) health intervention

Interesting. I believe that the second F in AFFIRMO refers to frail (read as elderly). Given that a lot of us older people either don't have a Smart Phone, or have some difficulty with it, the philosophy of a mobile app may need to be examined.
