Wearables in Cardiovascular Disease

Sanchit Kumar et al. J Cardiovasc Transl Res. 2023 Jun.

Abstract

Wearable devices stand to revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered. From consumer devices that provide general health information and screen for medical conditions to medical-grade devices that allow collection of larger datasets that include multiple modalities, wearables have a myriad of potential uses, especially in cardiovascular disorders. In this review, we summarize the underlying technologies employed in these devices and discuss the regulatory and economic aspects of such devices as well as the future implications of their use.

Keywords: Ballistocardiography; Bioimpedance; Cardiovascular; Electrocardiography; Photoplethysmography; Seismocardiography; Wearables.
