Utility of smart watches for identifying arrhythmias in children

https://www.nature.com/articles/s43856-023-00392-9 From the abstract: " Arrhythmia symptoms are frequent complaints in children and often require a pediatric cardiology evaluation. Data regarding the clinical utility of wearable technologies are limited in children. We hypothesize that a smart watch can capture arrhythmias in children. We present an analysis of patients =18 years-of-age who had signs of an arrhythmia documented by a smart watch. We include patients evaluated at our center over a 4-year-period and highlight those receiving a formal arrhythmia diagnosis. We evaluate the role of the smart watch in arrhythmia diagnosis, the results of other ambulatory cardiac monitoring studies, and findings of any EP studies."
