Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Wearable Devices in Pediatric Clinical Care: A Review.

ABSTRACT: Wearable devices are becoming widely applied in healthcare to enable continuous, noninvasive monitoring, but their use in pediatric populations remains relatively underexplored. This review synthesizes 36 clinical studies focused on pediatric hospital and outpatient wearables published between 2014 and 2025. Devices included wrist-worn trackers, adhesive biosensors, and more, capturing electrocardiography, photoplethysmography, accelerometry, and other signals. Clinical applications spanned a variety of care settings. Artificial intelligence (AI) partially enhanced interpretation for the early detection of conditions such as postoperative complications and sepsis. Despite their promising accuracy, most studies remain small, single-center pilots focused on feasibility and signal validity ra
