“…In some situations, new materials and sensors (eg, biopatches) have allowed these ECGs to be recorded from atypical places (eg, mastoid area) [109] and under different environmental conditions such as after immersion in water or in areas with magnetic fields between 1.5 and 3 T (during magnetic resonance imaging) [110-113]. Novel biopatches have also allowed other parameters such as respiratory rate, body position, temperature, and quality of sleep or physical activity to be monitored, which aids in excluding ST depression caused by increased physical activity or changes in body position [19,114,115]. However, when this is coupled with fewer leads, not only will there be suboptimal signal-to-noise ratio but signals generated might also be different from those produced by standard ECG leads [15].…”

“…Studies have been conducted using mobile phone apps, such as AliveCor, to detect arrhythmias such as AF [17-19], atrial flutter, atrial and ventricular premature beats, bundle branch blocks, and ST-segment abnormalities [20]. As the use of mobile phone apps in cardiovascular care is a rapidly evolving field, this literature review seeks to act as a checkpoint, encapsulating the current state of mobile phone–based PPG and ECG recorders in monitoring HR, HRV, and AF.…”

Background Mobile phone apps capable of monitoring arrhythmias and heart rate (HR) are increasingly used for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of HR and rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation (AF). These apps involve either the use of (1) photoplethysmographic recording or (2) a handheld external electrocardiographic recording device attached to the mobile phone or wristband. Objective This review seeks to explore the current state of mobile phone apps in cardiac rhythmology while highlighting shortcomings for further research. Methods We conducted a narrative review of the use of mobile phone devices by searching PubMed and EMBASE from their inception to October 2018. Potentially relevant papers were then compared against a checklist for relevance and reviewed independently for inclusion, with focus on 4 allocated topics of (1) mobile phone monitoring, (2) AF, (3) HR, and (4) HR variability (HRV). Results The findings of this narrative review suggest that there is a role for mobile phone apps in the diagnosis, monitoring, and screening for arrhythmias and HR. Photoplethysmography and handheld electrocardiograph recorders are the 2 main techniques adopted in monitoring HR, HRV, and AF. Conclusions A number of studies have demonstrated high accuracy of a number of different mobile devices for the detection of AF. However, further studies are warranted to validate their use for large scale AF screening.

“…Portable or wearable technology (e.g., electrocardiogram) is becoming more popular among health care providers because is less time-consuming, accurate and friendlier to the patient (Mecnika, Kviesis-Kipge, Krieviņš, Marcnikevics, & Schwarz, 2013;Shih et al, 2015). Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an example of telemetric systems for biometry based on smart textiles, by which the measuring technique is based on an optical detection of tissue blood pulsations from the head (temporal artery), hand (1 st phalange of the forefinger), wrist (radial artery) and neck (external carotid artery) (Mecnika et al, 2013).…”

Abstract-State of the art technology is widely used in health care and exercise sciences. The use of such technology is based on availability and mainly by cost. Current devices are light, small and portable to allow health care practitioners provide accurate diagnostic tools for effective patient treatment. Software and apps such as video games for health are embedded in cell phones and tables, making them available to everyone. Knowledge and use of these devices is not limited to the highly skilled technicians, but rather to patients and common people of all ages. Miniaturization and nanotechnology allow exploring the human body and to collect data in real time. Microrobots seem to integrate technology, miniaturization and nanotechnology; therefore, these particles will extender their applications to health care and other fields like sports. These technologies are used in combating not only diseases such as cancer, but also in sports and exercise science research to provide athletes and staff with the latest instrumentation to achieve the best performance. New materials and devices will also help athletes recovering from injuries and return to play sooner. Next technological developments will include positive key features such as portability, miniaturization, automatization, and power sustainability. They are also challenged to overcome negative features like ethics, high cost, and access to the population.
