Artificial intelligence-enabled atrial fibrillation detection using smartwatches: current status and future perspectives

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, but is frequently asymptomatic and intermittent; therefore, its timely diagnosis poses challenges. Early detection in selected patients may aid in stroke prevention and mitigate structural heart complications through prompt intervention.
