Comparison of diagnostic accuracy of electrocardiogram-based versus photoplethysmography-based smartwatches for atrial fibrillation detection
PPG-based smartwatches outperformed ECG-based devices in AF detection, offering higher sensitivity and specificity. Even though both modalities are effective in AF detection, the considerable variability in ECG smartwatch performance highlights the need for further research and standardization.
