ESC working group on e-cardiology position paper: use of commercially available wearable technology for heart rate and activity tracking in primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention—in collaboration with the European Heart Rhythm Association, European Association of Preventive Cardiology, Association of Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professionals, Patient Forum, and the Digital Health Committee

Abstract: Commercially available health technologies such as smartphones and smartwatches, activity trackers and eHealth applications, commonly referred to as wearables, are increasingly available and used both in the leisure and healthcare sector for pulse and fitness/activity tracking. The aim of the Position Paper is to identify specific barriers and knowledge gaps for the use of wearables, in particular for heart rate and activity tracking, in clinical cardiovascular healthcare to support their implementation into c… Show more

“…Despite the fact that the excess health risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle have been well established [26], no effective large-scale public health interventions targeting sedentary behaviour exist. The current COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the availability and implementation of eHealth initiatives in healthcare and cardiac telerehabilitation, offering scalable services to large groups of patients [31][32][33]. Remote delivery of cardiac rehabilitation now seems feasible and has the potential to increase capacity and reach diverse patient populations, also beyond the COVID-19 era [34,35].…”

“…Data-enabled design (DED) (Kollenburg and Bogers, 2019) has been shown to allow for collecting and analyzing contextual, behavioral, and experimental data that can be connected to medical data gathered in hospitals (Bogers et al, 2018;Kollenburg et al, 2018). Clinicians are already interpreting data sets provided by patients (Rutjes et al, 2019) and have started using consumer health wearables in their own practice (Jensen et al, 2021). However, DED is an inherently malleable practice with plenty of designerly leeway, whereas the clinical context is controlled and protected.…”
