Angelina Brown

Angelina Brown is a 74-year-old patient who was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation after a scary incident while exercising. She became the first participant in a groundbreaking clinical trial at Northwestern University, aimed at using a modified Apple Watch to monitor AFib, allowing patients to take blood thinners only when necessary. Brown's involvement is particularly significant as she represents efforts to increase diversity in clinical trial participation, especially among Black Americans who have historically been underrepresented.
