Enhancing cardiac postoperative care: a smartwatch-integrated remote telemonitoring platform for health screening with ECG analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The integration of smartwatches into postoperative cardiac care transforms patient monitoring, systematically tracking vital signs and delivering real-time data to a centralized platform. This study focuses on developing a platform for seamless integration, assessing reliability, and evaluating the impact on post-cardiac surgery. The goal is to establish a robust foundation for understanding the efficacy and dependability of smartwatch-based telemonitoring, enhancing care for this population.

Methods and results

A total of 108 cardiac surgery patients were divided into telemonitoring (TLM) and control (CTL) groups. The TLM group utilized smartwatches for continuous monitoring of vital parameters (SpO₂, HR, BP, ECG) over 30 ± 3 days. Statistical analyses (Pear
