Atrial fibrillation research by the AFIP foundation

Investigating New Ongoing Atrial Fibrillation via Citizen Science

Our platform initiates new research focused on atrial fibrillation, to which you can contribute. The AFIP Foundation does this on the basis of citizen science. This is also called ‘citizen science’? What is Citizen Science?
Citizen science is research that has been set up together with the public. Often the backgrounds of individuals differ. The AFIP Foundation uses citizen science by collecting data together with experiences from our platform’s users to initiate new scientific studies.. In case your responses provide new insights, our medical professionals set up trial studies. These potentially develop into scientific research.

Survey: Pesticides and AFib

Do you have a heart rhythm disorder and do you suspect that pesticides can play a role through, for example, inhalation or food? Do you work with pesticides as part of your profession or do you live in an environment where a lot of pesticides are sprayed? The AFIP Foundation takes your experience with you in laboratory work.
