Who's Watching the Watches? A Point-counterpoint on Smartwatches

The rise of digital monitoring via smartwatches is making it easier to empower patients to live healthier lives. But is that really true? No doubt continuous monitoring increases the rate of diagnosis, but are they relevant, and at what cost? In a point-counterpoint discussion, the faculty will discuss the pros and cons of continuous home monitoring with a special focus on cardiovascular health. Attendees will leave this presentation with an increased awareness of the risks and benefits of continuous monitoring via smartwatch technology. Likewise, they will also be able to have a more informed discussion and provide better shared decision-making when their next patient discusses their smartwatch rhythm alert.
