Has anyone heard of Apple watch study for afib?

I would love to get off the blood thinners and just wonder about using the watch. I pretty much resigned myself to taking blood thinners forever and now I have this to think about. I guess my age, 76 and being a female with afib might help with the decision.

The EP community seems to be settled on there being an elevated risk of thromboembolic stroke from dislodged clots from the left atrial appendage for several months, not days, after a successful ablation or after the last bout of AF. If I were an EP, and I am not, and knowing what I have read here and there, I would advise my patients to continue taking a DOAC for at least the next six months.
