Abstract:
Personalized medicine is a concept all clinicians must strive to deliver. Recent advances in technology increasingly offer new opportunities to personalize care, not least in cardiovascular medicine. Health trackers and wearables are technologies in an explosive phase of development. They allow accurate and continuous measurement of bio-data, recorded and analysed using apps and mobile devices. However, although there is huge potential, most physicians and healthcare organizations are yet to realize the value of integrating wearables into routine clinical practice. We discuss how this state-of-the-art technology can support patients in making meaningful lifestyle changes and revolutionize the future of cardiovascular medicine.
