In this talk, Dr Peter H. Charlton (University of Cambridge) will provide an introduction to wearable devices, including the underlying technology, their functionality, and potential applications. He will then illustrate potential opportunities with examples from our research into screening for atrial fibrillation, a common heart arrhythmia which increases the risk of stroke by five-fold, yet is often not recognised. To do so, he will present early findings from two ongoing research programmes: a study of the acceptability and performance of wearables for atrial fibrillation screening in older adults; and the SAFER Trial which uses handheld ECG recorders in the general population. Finally, Dr Charlton will discuss the next steps to realise the full potential of wearables and mobile health devices in healthcare and research, ranging from their use in virtual wards to large-scale, low-cost clinical studies.
