Wearables and the Medical Revolution
Open accessAbstract
Wearable sensors are already impacting healthcare and medicine by enabling health monitoring outside of the clinic and prediction of health events. This paper reviews current and prospective wearable technologies and their progress toward clinical application. We describe technologies underlying common, commercially available wearable sensors and early-stage devices and outline research, when available, to support the use of these devices in healthcare. We cover applications in the following health areas: metabolic, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal monitoring; sleep, neurology, movement disorders and mental health; maternal, pre- and neo-natal care; and pulmonary health and environmental exposures. Finally, we discuss challenges associated with the adoption of wearable sensors in the current healthcare ecosystem and discuss areas for future research and development.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review surveys wearable sensors for healthcare, covering mechanical, physiological, and biochemical devices and applications from hospital monitoring to chronic disease, maternal, pulmonary, and mental health. It argues wearables can enable continuous longitudinal monitoring and prediction but require validation, standards, integration, and regulatory clarity before broad clinical adoption.
Key findings
- Wearables span mechanical, physiological, and biochemical sensors, with applications including glucose monitoring, arrhythmia detection, sleep, maternal/fetal care, pulmonary health, and environmental exposures.
- In a partnership with the UCSF Health eHeart study, Cardiogram’s DeepHeart platform used data from 14,011 wearable-equipped participants and detected Type II diabetes at 85% accuracy, atrial fibrillation at 97%, sleep apnea at 90%, and hypertension at 82%. A trial comparing AliveCor’s technology with routine care (n = 1001) resulted in a nearly fourfold increase in atrial fibrillation diagnosis.
- Other reported performance examples include Fitbit Charge post-ICU tachycardia detection with 69.5% sensitivity and 98.8% specificity (n = 50); Oura ring sleep detection with 96% sensitivity, 48% wake specificity, and 65/51/61% agreement for light/deep/REM sleep; Empatica Embrace detecting 94% of GTC seizures in 80 pediatric patients with less than one false alarm per 24 h; ADAMM asthma detection accuracy of 71% in 84 teens; and VitalConnect HealthPatch fall detection with 99% sensitivity and 100% specificity (n = 25).
- The global wearable devices market was anticipated to reach $19.5 billion in 2021; replacing one in five outpatient consultations and home health visits with digital visits was estimated to save $40 billion a year, and remote monitoring in patients with implantable cardiovascular devices (n = 43) decreased healthcare costs by 25%.
Methods
- Narrative review of current and prospective wearable technologies and their progress toward clinical application, organized by health areas: metabolic, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal monitoring; sleep, neurology, movement disorders, and mental health; maternal, pre- and neo-natal care; and pulmonary health and environmental exposures.
- No primary data collection; the paper synthesizes published studies, commercially available devices, early-stage devices, and examples from the literature.
- No systematic search strategy, inclusion criteria, or meta-analysis is stated; the review also discusses regulatory oversight, economic impact, challenges, and future directions.
Limitations
- The paper states limitations including high device cost, cross-platform incompatibility, lack of data standards, setup and charging burden, variable acceptability and stigma, need for large clinical and field trials, unsubstantiated commercial claims, false negatives and false positives, inaccurate activity tracking, need for clinician training, and potential emotional burden or technology addiction.
- Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it lacks a systematic search or formal quality appraisal, and many cited studies are small, early-stage, feasibility, pilot, or not yet peer-reviewed; several device examples are commercial or under development.

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.
