Abstract

Goal: To investigate the contextual and temporal distribution of false positives (FPs) in a state-of-the-art deep learning (DL)-based atrial fibrillation (AF) detection algorithm when applied to an electrocardiogram (ECG) dataset collected under free-living ambulatory conditions. We hypothesize that under such conditions, the FPs detected by a DL model might have some correlations with the patient's ambulatory contexts.
