About

New wearable technologies for cardiac rhythm monitoring are gaining more and more importance in clinical routine in the field of cardiology and electrophysiology - by physicians as well as patients. These include, but are by far not restricted to smartphone-based ECG or PPG, finger-ECG, smartwatches, smart garments and more. This opens new horizons for mHealth-based patient care, mHealth-enhanced teleconsultations, but also mass screening for heart rhythm disorders.

The proposed research topic aims to present new research on these technologies covering methological aspects on wearable single- and multiple-lead ECG or photophlethysmography devices, (mass) screening for atrial fibrillation or other arrhythmias with new devices, implementation of mHealth into clinical pathways of cardiac diseases, short or long-term telemonitoring through wearables devices, cost-effectiveness, and more.

This research topic can include original research papers, case reports, review articles as well as meta-analyses on the topic of wearables for cardiac rhythm monitoring.
