Data-efficient machine learning methods in the ME-TIME study: Rationale and design of a longitudinal study to detect atrial fibrillation and heart failure from wearables

Background: Smartwatches enable continuous and noninvasive time series monitoring of cardiovascular biomarkers like heart rate (from photoplethysmograms), step counter, skin temperature, et cetera; as such, they have promise in assisting in early detection and prevention of cardiovascular disease. Although these biomarkers may not be directly...

Machine Learning for Cardiovascular Outcomes from Wearable Data: Systematic Review from a Technology Readiness Level Point of View

Background: Wearable technology has the potential to improve cardiovascular health monitoring by using machine learning. Such technology enables remote health monitoring and allows for the diagnosis and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. In addition to the detection of cardiovascular disease, it can exclude this diagnosis in symptomatic...
