There has been increasing adoption of wearable smart devices in health care field and they enable non-invasive continuous monitoring of various cardiac parameters. Lots of studies have demonstrated that ambulatory monitoring devices were able to provide data for reliable diagnostics for arrhythmia. Distinguishing features of wearables such as ubiquitous continuous monitoring make it a convincing alternative to traditional diagnostic devices. Additionally, this revolutionary technology does not only enhance the diagnostic utility of wearable devices, but has also facilitated remote health care using IOT (internet of things) capability. In this review, the authors aim to present the state of current technologic development of smart wearables for detection of arrhythmia and comment on future perspectives with reviewing recent studies focused on clinical utility.
