Detailed Description
The primary objective is to analyze how many patients at risk of medical conditions will be converted to a health care professional by a smartphone application. Historical data (number of patients at risk of OSA and/or AFib that seeked help for their condition in the past year) from institute will be used as a reference. We will refer to this as the 'baseline conversion rate', reflecting the natural transition of patients in the general healthcare system.
