“…Real‐time physiologic monitoring of disease pathology enables more accurate treatment and repair. [ 59 ] Sensors currently in clinical use include blood pressure oximeters, blood glucose meters, electrocardiographs, gastroenteroscopes, and infrared radiation thermometers, [ 60 ] but these bulky instruments are difficult to transport and store at medical institutions. In contrast, wearable medical devices are small and portable with more comprehensive signal sources, thereby attracting attention for point‐of‐care testing.…”

Wearable healthcare systems have captured the interest of researchers because they enable smarter and more personalized healthcare. However, these systems are limited by a separation between biosensors and therapeutic units that results in interrupted treatment and compromised patient recovery. It is therefore imperative to develop wearable closed‐loop medical devices that fully integrate physiological/pathological monitoring, signal feedback detection, diagnostics, and on‐demand therapeutic administration. Such systems require safe, sustainable, and continuously operating power sources, and bioenergy has gained attention in this regard because it can be sourced continuously from the human body without requiring substantial rigid energy storage space. The effective utilization of bioenergy would enable the realization of a self‐driven closed‐loop medical system with treatment‐monitoring feedback.

“…Studies have shown that smartwatches, including the Apple Watch, can detect a range of arrhythmias beyond AF, such as ventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and bradyarrhythmias. 3,4 Although it was not originally designed for AF patients, its intended use is becoming increasingly common. The third-degree (complete) atrioventricular (AV) block exhibits a relatively distinctive appearance on the ECG, characterized by the presence of atrial (P waves) and ventricular (QRS complexes) activities that occur independently of each other, along with an atrial rate that surpasses the ventricular rate.…”

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the smartwatch electrocardiogram (ECG) in detecting atrioventricular block. A case study was conducted to demonstrate the use of wearable technology, specifically the ECG, in monitoring cardiac health outside of traditional clinical settings. The patient in question was a 71-year-old woman who was hospitalized due to a complete atrioventricular (AV) block. Her ECG recordings were taken with an Apple Watch, which accurately displayed the complete AV block. After undergoing coronary angiography, the ECG recordings taken with the Apple Watch demonstrated that the complete AV block had been correct. These results indicate that wearable technology, such as smartwatches, holds great potential for monitoring third-degree AV block in non-clinical settings. The findings of this study can add to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of wearable technology in cardiac monitoring during emergencies.

Smartwatches represent one of the most widely adopted technological innovations among wearable devices. Their evolution has equipped them with an increasing array of features, including the capability to record an electrocardiogram. This functionality allows users to detect potential arrhythmias, enabling prompt intervention or monitoring of existing arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation. In our research, we aimed to compile case reports, case series, and cohort studies from the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases published until 1 August 2023. The search employed keywords such as “Smart Watch”, “Apple Watch”, “Samsung Gear”, “Samsung Galaxy Watch”, “Google Pixel Watch”, “Fitbit”, “Huawei Watch”, “Withings”, “Garmin”, “Atrial Fibrillation”, “Supraventricular Tachycardia”, “Cardiac Arrhythmia”, “Ventricular Tachycardia”, “Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia”, “Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia”, “Heart Block”, “Atrial Flutter”, “Ectopic Atrial Tachycardia”, and “Bradyarrhythmia.” We obtained a total of 758 results, from which we selected 57 articles, including 33 case reports and case series, as well as 24 cohort studies. Most of the scientific works focused on atrial fibrillation, which is often detected using Apple Watches. Nevertheless, we also included articles investigating arrhythmias with the potential for circulatory collapse without immediate intervention. This systematic literature review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on arrhythmia detection using smartwatches. Through further research, it may be possible to develop a care protocol that integrates arrhythmias recorded by smartwatches, allowing for timely access to appropriate medical care for patients. Additionally, continuous monitoring of existing arrhythmias using smartwatches could facilitate the assessment of the effectiveness of prescribed therapies.
