Stanford Medicine’s study suggests Apple Watches can aid in identifying irregular heart rhythms in children, potentially providing valuable insights in paediatric cardiology. The research found that smartwatches detected abnormal heart rhythms missed by traditional monitoring methods, leading to new arrhythmia diagnoses in 29 children. The study acknowledges limitations, such as existing algorithms not optimised for children’s heart rates. Further research is planned to assess the reliability of smartwatch data in monitoring children’s heart rhythms.
