“…The Pearson correlation coefficient of the relation between heart rate measurement with a smartphone and a validated method was always ≥0.90. These results suggest that a smartphone app deriving heart rate from a PPG signal could be used as an alternative for already validated methods, such as an ECG or pulse oximeter in an adult population in resting sinus rhythm, for heart rate measurements between 60 and 100 beats per minute [24].…”

Clinical-instrumental investigations, such as electrocardiography (ECG), represent a corollary of a procedures that, nowadays, is called upon as part of the principles of precision medicine. However when carrying out the professional routine examinations, most tend to ignore how a “simple” instrument can offer indispensable support in clinical practice, even in occupational medicine. The advent of the digital age, made of silicon and printed circuit boards, has allowed the miniaturization of the electronic components of these electro-medical devices. Finally, the adoption of patient wearables in medicine has been rapidly expanding worldwide for a number of years. This has been driven mainly by consumers’ demand to monitor their own health. With the ongoing research and development of new features capable of assessing and transmitting real-time biometric data, the impact of wearables on cardiovascular management has become inevitable. Despite the potential offered by this technology, as evident from the scientific literature, the application of these devices in the field of health and safety in the workplace is still limited. This may also be due to the lack of targeted scientific research. While offering great potential, it is very important to consider and evaluate ethical aspects related to the use of these smart devices, such as the management of the collected data relating to the physiological parameters and the location of the worker. This technology is to be considered as being aimed at monitoring the subject’s physiological parameters, and not at the diagnosis of any pathological condition, which should always be on charge of the medical specialist We conducted a review of the evolution of the role that electrophysiology plays as part of occupational health and safety management and on its possible future use, thanks to ongoing technological innovation.

“…It is effective for measuring heart rate [3], and moreover, as it can detect abnormal cardiac rhythm, it may prove helpful to people who occasionally have symptoms such as palpitations. Newer versions of the device can record the ECG for subsequent reading by a physician, but this function was not available in the country where the patient was present [4].…”

“…Optimization of diagnostics is essential, especially given the fact that recently available new technological solutions enable long-term remote monitoring of heart rhythm and automatic diagnostics. A noninvasive method that allows the extension of the monitoring time for ECG recording in children with periodically occurring symptoms increases the probability of recording the incident and detecting clinically dangerous arrhythmias [10,11]. This may significantly improve the diagnostics and facilitate early implementation of appropriate (non)invasive therapeutic management [1,3,4,12].…”
