Leveraging the Full Potential of Wearable Devices in Cardiomyopathies

Over a third of US adults own a wearable device, such as a smartwatch or fitness tracker, and access to these devices continues to rise.1 The potential health value of wearables is due to their broad user base that includes healthy individuals without other healthcare contact, but also the direct access to high-quality multimodal sensors, such as heart rate, exercise, sleep, and more recently electrocardiograms (ECGs) and oxygen saturation right on people's wrists. Despite the broad promise of these devices, there are few examples of successful health applications.
