“…Previous studies with a limited number of CIED models have confirmed that the magnet-sensitive switches in CIEDs are susceptible to interference from consumer electronic devices with built-in magnets. [6][7][8]18 Neodymium magnets are used in standard mobile phone components such as camera auto-focus, speakers, and taptic or vibration units (Fig. 4).…”

The relevant content of China’s sport work clearly pointed out that it is necessary to improve the physical and mental health of the citizens. Combining the current development hotspots of mobile smart terminals and smart wearable devices, smart wearable devices are analyzed from the function and development history in order to find an effective combination of smart wearable devices and sports work. This article describes the youth as the main body receiving grassroots physical education of nonsports special students and basketball enthusiasts. In the process of physical education teaching, the problem of pain points is more prominent because most teenagers in the basketball education at the grass-roots level do not have the opportunity to get one-to-one private counseling. When there are problems in the operation, students cannot be guided to conduct training or practice by themselves. This paper aims to meet the demand of real-time monitoring of dribbling posture in basketball dribbling training and proposes a low-cost product solution to help teenagers carry out basketball dribbling training by themselves: intelligent wearable product of head wrist and dribbling assistant DribbleAid, which is used to monitor common bad posture problems of users in dribbling training and give corresponding reminders to deal with users’ pain points. In this work, various experiments have been carried out for the proposed method and system. A large number of experimental results show that the method designed in this paper can effectively monitor the basketball training posture.

“…After an investigation, it was revealed that this beeping was due to magnetic reversion mode being triggered by the Apple Watch wristband. The authors subsequently tested Fitbit and the Apple Watch magnetic wristbands and found that both were able to trigger magnetic reversion mode ex vivo on a Medtronic device at distance of 2.4 and 2.0 cm, respectively [35]. While the study by Lacour and Tzeis did not demonstrate any cases of magnet reversion mode being triggered by smartwatches, the study by Seidman et al demonstrates that the Apple Watch 6th generation has a strong enough static magnetic field to induce magnet reversion mode in CIEDs [30•].…”

Purpose of Review The risk of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) interference from cell phones was previously thought to be low based on older studies. Current generation of smartphones have incorporated more magnets for optimization of wireless charging, attachment of accessories, and convenience functionalities. These magnets have the potential to cause CIEDs to inadvertently revert into magnet mode. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent findings on smartphones and their accessories causing interference on CIEDs. Recent Findings Recent reports have demonstrated that the iPhone 12 series and accessories have the capability to cause CIED magnetic interference. Summary Current generation of smartphones, smartwatches, wireless headphones, and accessories have the potential to cause CIEDs to revert into magnet mode in both in vivo and ex vivo experiments. The risk of a clinically significant event is unlikely as long as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations are followed; keeping smartphones and accessories at least six inches away from CIEDs.
