Summary

Technology rules the world and is ruled by humans. The question of how developing digital devices and wearable technologies influence on physicians’ clinical decision-making in the field of diagnosis and management of arrhythmias is always relevant as it has major potential clinical implications.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)-and photoplethysmography (PPG)-based devices are widely used to evaluate heart rhythm. Meanwhile, AI-enabled digital devices can be of aid in an integrated approach of early detection and monitoring of atrial fibrillation (AF), long QT syndrome (LQTS), as well as QTc-related adverse drug events. Future prospects of digital technology such as contactless rhythm monitoring for mass AF screening in ambulatory setting and detection of cardiac arrest are considered to be a breakthrough in the field of e-Cardiology.
