Wearable AI devices equal hospital tests for heart rate monitoring

health

A study published in Nature Medicine finds that off-the-shelf wearable trackers, when combined with AI, offer clinically useful insights into heart rate control equivalent to traditional hospital tests. The RATE-AF randomized trial, conducted by the University of Birmingham, monitored heart rates of 53 individuals over 20 weeks using commercial wearables and smartphones. The results showed no significant difference in heart rate control between digoxin and beta-blockers, even after accounting for physical activity levels. This AI-driven approach could reduce the burden on healthcare systems by enabling remote monitoring [9]. Additionally, there is ongoing research exploring advanced heart failure treatments, such as artificial hearts and deep learning models for predicting cardiac arrhythmia [15][11][10].
