“… 1 Various types of wearable monitoring devices with higher accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity have been developed. 5 However, there are disadvantages regarding the use of wearable devices for older patients that relate to the design of the devices, appropriate and timely feedback, user-friendliness, and cost. 6 In the present study, we provide evidence of high patient acceptance of a self-fitted wearable ECG device and sending the device by post.…”

Background: Demand is growing for remote electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring systems in the COVID-19 era in Japan. This study describes initial experiences with a small wireless ECG monitoring device and the utility of delivery via the postal service for outpatient care in Japan. Methods and Results:Long-term ECG monitoring following postal delivery of the small ECG device was evaluated in 25 patients. The patients had no difficulties with either the postal delivery or self-fitting and wearing the devices. A median of 57 h monitoring per patient was performed. Arrhythmic events were detected in 8 patients. Most patients were satisfied with both the ECG devices and postal delivery. Conclusions:Postal delivery of ECG devices could be used in clinical practice to achieve less or no in-person contact during the COVID-19 era.

“…Fortunately, it has been reported that a smartphone can be used to check for an IP at home without visiting a hospital [17,18]. Wearable devices such as a smartwatch are also now able to evaluate heart rhythms or irregular pulses with an improving accuracy [19]. This is particularly promising for elderly subjects because information technology applications will enable them to self-monitor for an IP at home without the aid of medical staff.…”

The Relationship between Poor Pulmonary Function and Irregular Pulse in the Elderly: Findings from a Nationwide Cross-Sectional Survey in Korea

Arrhythmia may be caused by reduced pulmonary function, and pulse palpation is a useful screening method for the early detection of cardiac arrhythmia. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between reduced pulmonary function and abnormal findings on pulse palpation in 2347 subjects aged ≥65 years using data from a nationwide survey. Pulse palpation was initially performed for 15 s and, if felt to be abnormal, it was performed again for 60 s. The prevalence of irregular pulse (IP) determined by the 60-second palpation was 61 (2.6%). The mean age of subjects with an IP was 73.0 (95% CI 71.7–74.3) years, and 45.8% were male. After adjustment for covariates, forced vital capacity (FVC)/predicted FVC, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/predicted FEV1, and the lowest FEV1 remained significant risk factors for IP. A restrictive or obstructive spirometry pattern was also an independent risk factor for IP. In summary, an IP is more prevalent when pulmonary function is reduced in the elderly, in whom careful pulse palpation may be necessary for the early detection of arrhythmia.

“…Consumer-grade wearable devices capable of monitoring health represent an ever-growing market that is expected to reach 27.5 billion USD by 2026. Wrist-worn devices, including smartwatches and fitness trackers, account for more than half of all wearable devices being used (15). Various sensors and technologies are utilized by these devices to gather health parameters, but photoplethysmography (PPG) is considered quintessential.…”
