Wearable Photoplethysmography for Cardiovascular Monitoring
Open accessAbstract
Smart wearables provide an opportunity to monitor health in daily life and are emerging as potential tools for detecting cardiovascular disease (CVD). Wearables such as fitness bands and smartwatches routinely monitor the photoplethysmogram signal, an optical measure of the arterial pulse wave that is strongly influenced by the heart and blood vessels. In this survey, we summarize the fundamentals of wearable photoplethysmography and its analysis, identify its potential clinical applications, and outline pressing directions for future research in order to realize its full potential for tackling CVD.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Wearable photoplethysmography (PPG) is widely used for heart-rate monitoring and is being developed for broader cardiovascular monitoring, including blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, atrial fibrillation, and vascular risk. This narrative review summarizes PPG fundamentals, signal processing, clinical applications, and research directions, concluding that accuracy, validation, and clinical integration remain key challenges.
Key findings
- Wearable PPG can already estimate HR, but accuracy falls during exercise: summary MAE 2.15 bpm at rest vs 7.70 bpm during treadmill exercise and 10.64 bpm during cycling.
- In a community smartwatch study, possible AF notifications from 1-min PPG recordings had a PPV of 0.84; sensitivity and specificity were not assessed.
- Computational modeling of PPG in healthy subjects aged 25–75 found stiffness index increased with age and d/a decreased with age; both indices were predominantly influenced by arterial properties (large artery diameter, PWV, peripheral vascular resistance), with SI also strongly influenced by stroke volume and d/a by HR.
- The review identifies AF detection as perhaps nearest to clinical use, while BP, RR, SpO2, arterial stiffness, sleep, stress, sepsis, HF, and preeclampsia applications need further validation.
Methods
- Narrative review summarizing key literature on wearable PPG fundamentals, signal processing, physiological parameter estimation, clinical applications, future research, and resources; includes tables of further reading, PPG datasets, and wearable devices.
- No systematic search, meta-analysis, or formal risk-of-bias assessment is described.
- A computational model simulated PPG for healthy subjects aged 25–75 under varied cardiovascular conditions using the PWDB; SI and d/a were extracted and assessed via relative sensitivity to cardiovascular properties.
Limitations
- The paper states it is a narrative review; it notes that mechanisms underlying PPG pulse wave shape are not fully understood, it is not clear which pulse-wave detection approaches perform best, and many clinical applications require further validation.
- The paper notes that most wearable BP devices are not validated, and SpO2 measurements from conventional pulse oximeters have been found less accurate and less reliable in black patients than white patients.
- Evident from the text: the modeling findings use synthetic/simulated data from healthy adults aged 25–75, not daily-life wearable recordings, and the review does not provide a systematic synthesis of evidence quality.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
