App snapshot
AFibLife is a free iPhone application created to help people learn about atrial fibrillation and how it affects daily life. It includes a validated quality-of-life survey commonly used by AFib clinicians and lets users record symptoms, medications, and daily experiences to see patterns over time.
Core capabilities
- Daily journaling for symptoms, medications, and personal notes to reveal trends
- Connection with your health data for a consolidated view of heart-related metrics
- The Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT) tool — a clinical-grade questionnaire built into the app
- A customizable stroke-risk calculator that offers individualized risk information
- Tools to prepare and share summaries that make conversations with clinicians more productive
Educational materials
AFibLife supplies a library of learning aids — short videos, printable brochures, and simple explainers — designed to build a clearer understanding of AFib and treatment options.
Provider collaboration
The app is structured to support clinical discussions: exportable reports and clear trend charts make it easier to communicate symptoms, therapy responses, and quality-of-life changes with your care team.
Sleep support option
In addition to AFib-focused features, the app may offer paid third-party sleep aids (for example, “green-noise” soundtracks) as an optional upgrade for users looking for better rest.
Why this is useful
By combining a validated questionnaire, routine symptom tracking, risk assessment, educational content, and data-sharing features, AFibLife aims to be a practical companion for people managing atrial fibrillation and seeking to improve their quality of life.
