The Pulse of Progress: Smart Wearables and the Evolution of Cardiovascular Monitoring Technologies

This paper explores the transformative role of smart wearables in the evolution of cardiovascular monitoring technologies. With cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) as the leading cause of mortality globally, there's a critical need for continuous, real-time health monitoring outside traditional clinical settings. Smart wearables, ranging from fitness trackers to specialized health-monitoring devices, have emerged as pivotal tools in this regard. They offer personalized, preventive, and real-time management of health, leveraging advancements in technology to provide a continuous stream of health data previously inaccessible. This systematic review draws upon recent studies to examine the effectiveness of wearable technologies in detecting, predicting, and managing CVDs.
