Smart Wearables for Cardiac Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

In the digital era, wearable healthcare technologies are coming into focus in the field of cardiology and are being widely adopted by patients and consumers worldwide. Wearables include wristwatches, smartphones, patches, electronic skins, headbands, fitness trackers, eye-glasses, necklaces, clothing, and rings that are applied to screening, diagnosing, and monitoring treatments and outcomes. More and more wearables and related technologies focusing on remote and long-term cardiac monitoring are being developed. However, in order to introduce these new technologies to the daily clinical setting, the limitations and challenges posed by them and the way to overcome potential errors need to be understood.

The present Special Issue aims to highlight some of the latest developments in the field of health tracking wearables, focusing on advances in cardiac monitoring. With this letter, we welcome the submission of cutting-edge original research papers and case reports, viewpoints as well as state-of-the-art reviews and meta-analyses on the topic of wearables for cardiac monitoring.

We look forward to your contributions in this exciting, rapidly evolving field.
