SYNOPSIS

In a world where cardiovascular diseases (CVD) cast a significant health burden on today's population, this talk explores the imperative of continuous monitoring for heart health. We begin by highlighting the pervasive impact of CVD, setting the stage for a discussion that delves into the latest research trends. From there, the narrative unfolds to showcase the potential of smart wearable devices in continuous heart monitoring, illustrating through examples of a research work. The exploration extends to debates surrounding existing wearables and the integration of artificial intelligence into interpreting blood pressure waveforms. The journey concludes by offering a holistic perspective on risk detection. Join us on this enlightening expedition where emerging technologies and concepts redefine the approach to cardiovascular health, emphasizing the importance of continuous monitoring in our collective well-being.
