Abstract
Consumer-grade wearables provide an opportunity to understand public health trends, develop risk stratification tools and monitor interventions. This review introduces the most common wearable sensors and describes the health parameters that can be measured using them. We highlight research into the validity and accuracy of these measurements and practical considerations for the use of wearable data. Finally, we provide future perspectives on wearables in cardiovascular clinical practice and population health research.
