Abstract
The integration of wearable technology and remote monitoring (RM) has significantly transformed the early detection, continuous monitoring, and management of cardiac arrhythmias. These conditions, characterized by irregular heart rhythms, arise from various etiological factors, including congenital, structural, immunological, metabolic, and infectious diseases, with atrial fibrillation being the most prevalent type. Diagnosing arrhythmias remains challenging due to variable clinical presentations and episodic symptom manifestations, necessitating individualized management strategies. Recent advances in wearable technology offer scalable, cost-effective solutions for real-time arrhythmia monitoring. These devices are equipped with sophisticated sensors and data analytics that enable early detection and personalized interventions, while empowering patients to actively engage in their healthcare. Integrating RM systems enhances diagnostic accuracy and facilitates timely medical interventions. Despite their potential, regulatory, legal, privacy, security, and infrastructural challenges hinder the widespread adoption of wearable technology and RM. Addressing these barriers requires collaboration among stakeholders and rigorous clinical trials to assess their efficacy and feasibility. Future research should focus on refining wearable technology, improving user experience, and integrating these innovations into existing healthcare frameworks. Overcoming these challenges will maximize the potential of wearable technology and RM, ultimately enhancing the management of cardiac arrhythmias and improving patient outcomes.
Core Tip: Wearable technology and remote monitoring are transforming the management of cardiac arrhythmias by enabling early detection, continuous monitoring, and personalized intervention. These advances enhance patient engagement and clinical decision-making through real-time data analytics. However, challenges such as regulatory, privacy, and infrastructural barriers must be addressed to optimize integration into healthcare systems. Future research should focus on refining the technology, improving user experience, and conducting robust clinical trials to ensure efficacy and feasibility, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
