😵 Wearable smart devices are currently of great help for both patients and doctors. This technology, often of medical grade quality, allows for the detection of vital signs and physiological activity in patients, which can provide valuable data for the care, prevention, and treatment of certain heart diseases💔.

💡 Let's look at some functions:

- Step counter 👞: It detects the number of steps a person takes, encouraging physical activity. We know that more than 5000 steps are necessary to avoid being sedentary and more than 10,000 steps are needed to maintain healthy activity throughout the day.
- Heart rate monitor: It tracks heart rate over 24 hours, allowing for the identification of periods of high or low heart rate.
-Electrocardiogram: Wristwatches ⌚ like the Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy, Smart Fit, Omron, among others, allow for medical-grade electrocardiograms. This can be useful for patients with paroxysmal (sporadic) arrhythmias that are difficult to detect with a 24-hour Holter monitor, such as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation. There are also devices in tablet form (e.g., Kardia Mobile) that, when linked to your phone, allow for medical-grade electrocardiograms.
- Blood pressure monitor: The Omron wristwatch in the image allows for blood pressure measurement with medical validation. It is one of the few on the market, but in this case, it is very reliable.
- Sleep tracker.

It's important to consult with your cardiologist to discuss the usefulness of these devices in your particular case.
