“…The use of smartphones to perform an ECG can increase the accessibility to medical exams in even the most remote locations and a reduction of expenses when compared to the conventional exam. 18 In the light of the pandemic caused by COVID-19, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the use of the KardiaMobile-6L mobile device, produced by Alivecor, to detect atrial fibrillation. Giudicessi et al, 19 the importance of using this model to remotely assess the cardiac condition of isolated patients diagnosed with COVID-19 to reduce the risk of contamination due to the lower exposure of health professionals.…”

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. People living in vulnerable and poor places such as slums, rural areas and remote locations have difficulty in accessing medical care and diagnostic tests. In addition, given the COVID-19 pandemic, we are witnessing an increase in the use of telemedicine and noninvasive tools for monitoring vital signs. These questions motivate us to write this point of view and to describe some of the main innovations used for non-invasive screening of heart diseases. Smartphones are widely used by the population and are perfect tools for screening cardiovascular diseases. They are equipped with camera, flashlight, microphone, processor, and internet connection, which allow optical, electrical, and acoustic analysis of cardiovascular phenomena. Thus, when using signal processing and artificial intelligence approaches, smartphones may have predictive power for cardiovascular diseases. Here we present different smartphone approaches to analyze signals obtained from various methods including photoplethysmography, phonocardiograph, and electrocardiography to estimate heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ), heart murmurs and electrical conduction. Our objective is to present innovations in non-invasive diagnostics using the smartphone and to reflect on these trending approaches. These could help to improve health access and the screening of cardiovascular diseases for millions of people, particularly those living in needy areas.

“…The obtained ECG reports can be saved in the cloud for future reference or downloaded and instantly shared with the healthcare professional for immediate clinical advice. 30,31 Dyundi et al studied ECG samples obtained using Sanketlife from 1521 random participants and found 15 types of ECG abnormalities from 324 samples (21.3%). This result demonstrated the applicability of the device as a diagnostic test in detecting heart abnormalities from the general population.…”

“…It have the ability to be used in the outpatient department by physicians, technicians, and even patients with reasonable accuracy, and can prove to be useful in COVID pandemic era. 31 But like every other transient ECG monitoring device, it has difficulty in identifying time-dependent atrial and ventricular premature beats where continuous 24-hour monitoring is a better method. 30 Specifications of each mobile ECGs are outlined in Table 1.…”

At the end of year 2019, the world faced an outbreak of a highly virulent novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which changed the way physicians, including cardiologists, do their routine clinical practice. As distance limitation and efficient use of personal protective devices must be employed to prevent the pandemic spreading, even simple electrocardiogram (ECG) taking that involves directly placing electrode leads on a patient’s body may become riskier. This review will discuss the possibility of minimal or no touch EKG using the latest wireless technologies, beneficial in monitoring COVID-19 patients for cardiovascular problems or patients who seek cardiac care, but with posing risk of concomitant COVID-19.
