Description
Stefan Kurath-Koller and six colleagues test consumer heart monitors against hospital ECG in children, in a study published in two thousand twenty-five. Apple Watch and KardiaMobile devices are routine in adult cardiology. Their performance in children, with smaller bodies and faster hearts, was largely unknown.
Thirty patients aged four to seventeen undergoing routine ECG joined the prospective study. Technicians reconstructed all twelve leads using alternative device placements. Blinded pediatric cardiologists graded tracing quality, rhythm calls, and standard measurements. The phone-connected Kardia device finished recordings in about five minutes; the watch took fifteen. Standard ECG took four. The authors compare diagnostic agreement across the three methods to judge where wearables can safely help children's cardiology.
