Detektion von Vorhofflimmern mit Wearables

Die Erfassung biologischer Signale im Alltag durch Wearables ist durch den technischen Fortschritt und die breite Verfügbarkeit allgegenwärtig. Gezielt oder nebenbei ermöglichen zahlreiche Geräte die Erkennung von Herzrhythmusstörungen. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick über den medizinischen Hintergrund, verfügbare Technologien, Konsequenzen aus der Detektion von Vorhofflimmern und die sich damit ergebenden Möglichkeiten und Limitationen.
