Wearables in cardiology: Here to stay
Abstract
The adoption of wearables in medicine has rapidly expanded worldwide. New generations of wearables are emerging, driven by consumers' demand to monitor their own health. With the ongoing development of new features capable of assessing real-time biometric data, the impact of wearables on cardiovascular management has become inevitable. Smartwatches, among other wearable devices, offer a user-friendly noninvasive approach to continuously monitor for health parameters. With advancements in artificial intelligence, the photoplethysmography-generated pulse waveform has the potential to accurately detect episodes of atrial fibrillation and one day could replace conventional diagnostic and long-term monitoring methods. Clinical benefits that could arise from the use of such devices include refining stroke prevention strategies, personalizing AF management, and optimizing the patient-physician relationship. Wearables are changing not only the way clinicians conduct research but also the future of cardiovascular preventive and therapeutic care. As such, wearables are here to stay.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
