Why Clinicians should Care about YouCare and Other Wearable Health Devices

Asif Padiyath et al. J Med Syst. .

Abstract

In this issue of Journal of Medical Systems, Neri et al. share results from their study in which they compared the YouCare device to a standard Holter monitor. The wearable used in the study incorporates a single electrocardiogram lead in a crop top garment that is customized for each patient. This editorial discusses the YouCare device, the study findings, and their clinical relevance and impact in the context of wearable technology.
