Does multivariate physiological telemetry from a wearable sensor accurately predict heart failure hospitalization compared to implanted devices?
Continuous wearable monitoring analytics may offer a low-cost, noninvasive alternative to implanted devices for the early detection of heart failure rehospitalization.
Multivariate physiological telemetry from a wearable sensor can provide accurate early detection of impending rehospitalization with a predictive accuracy comparable to implanted devices. The clinical efficacy and generalizability of this low-cost noninvasive approach to rehospitalization mitigation should be further tested. Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
