Wearable rhythm devices are viewed as useful for arrhythmia screening and triggering further diagnostics, but there is a clear need for scientific society recommendations to manage data overload and guide clinical use.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May prompt diagnostic steps without therapeutic gain; leaves open the need for guidelines on wearable data integration.
Tracings from wearable rhythm devices suggestive of arrhythmias are most likely to trigger further diagnostic steps, and in the case of PPG recordings rarely therapeutic interventions. A majority of participants expect these devices to facilitate diagnostics and arrhythmia screening but fear data overload and expect scientific society recommendations on the use of wearables.
