Connected health: Ventricular tachycardia detection with Apple Watch–A case report
The presented case emphasizes the potential of smartwatches in identifying ventricular arrhythmias, especially in high-risk individuals. Despite the existence of many challenges, the integration of wearable technologies into clinical care could enhance arrhythmia detection, reduce unnecessary shocks, and therefore improve patient outcomes. Future research could explore the role of smartwatches as a non-invasive alternative to implantable rhythm monitoring devices.
