Advancing cardiac arrhythmia management: The integration of wearable technology and remote monitoring

Table 1 Types of wearable technology

Type of wearable technology	Description
Smartwatches	Worn on the wrist and fitted with sensors to monitor heart rhythm
Fitness bands	Designed for tracking one’s health, including heart rate monitoring and activity tracking
ECG sensors	Electrodes are used to measure cardiac rhythms and offer ongoing surveillance
ILRs	Implanted devices for continuous heart rhythm monitoring, suitable for chronic arrhythmias
PPG	Use optical sensors to detect anomalies in heartbeat and differences in blood volume

ECG: Electrocardiography; ILRs: Implantable Loop Recorders; PPG: Photoplethysmography.
