Patient and physician perspectives on smartwatch-based out-of-hospital cardiac arrest detection
This study is the first to explore the perspectives of patients and physicians on smartwatch-based OHCA detection using qualitative analysis of interview data. The results provide important building blocks for the ethically and psychologically sound development and implementation of smartwatch-based OHCA detection in clinical practice, taking the social context into account. The availability of OHCA detection using wearable devices to a wide range of people requires further attention, with emphasis on populations at elevated risk of cardiac arrhythmias.
