Is there a need to improve physician education for how to incorporate smart heart monitoring devices into their clinical practice?

More info on wearable and IoMT would be helpful

The technology is booming recently and in order to properly train patients, physicians need training on the limitations and benefits of specific technologies.

Doctors should be aware of the benefits

especially the perception that smart watches are only "gadgets"

need to monitor at doctor level the findings

Receiving direct notification from patients

Managemnet of the monitoring and responses to it is crucial

Healthcare professionals (physicians and otherwise) should be alert to all available tools to proceed with a correct prompt diagnosis. I do think that most physicians in Cardiology are aware of such gadgets. The same may not be true in Neurology and Internal Medicine, yet physicians in these specialities do often treat patients with stroke in whom such tools may be of diagnostic interest.

lack of information will hinder the wide use of such devices and the credible information should start from the relevant physicians

But doing research, studying papers

Knowledge on wearable smart heart monitoring devices is very essential to save lives.

As this is not part of official protocols they need to be educated about the related bemefits for their patients.

The main issue of Western world is too much food in combination with insufficient activity.
If a smart monitoring is helpfull can each person decide during training.

Yes. A single (manual) observation of vitals combined with an ECG conducted in an controlled setting is one thing but watch wearing all day everyday will have practical issues causing data 'blips' that should not automatically cause concern.

docs consider smart watch as part of diagnosis, suggest to wear, helps patients in upcoming life threatening risks, saves patient life.

Don’t forget about other primary care providers nurse practitioner and pharmacists too

Not very many Electrophysiologists know what to do with the data (how to get it, store it)

Again for the reasons I noted earlier I believe that such devices offer great benefit to evaluate cardio fitness, to help develop exercise, dietary and other programs, and importantly if worn regularly they can establish baselines and be used to establish trends that should be of great benefit to physicians should they use them

please also add nurse practitioners, and physician assistants

Always necessary to update professionals .

There is a need to educate and remind physicians how to best serve patients by "DO NO HARM"--current medical practices is financial and control-driven.

our patients need a huge of education before discharge. it can replace the cardiac rehabilitation

But, first the technologies should be improved by new algorithms.

There need to have scientific studies with strict scrutiny and rigger to support their use and then train physicians to incorporate these technologies into their practice.

Very few know both the medicine and the technology in sufficient depth to know how to deploy the tech.

Yes, education and evidence of benefits

AI is the future.

Not necessarily, so people don't get panicked for non-threatening situations

Practical knowledge of the indications for these devices are important for their prescription by the care provider

We should start teaching MD and nursing student on how to deal with this kind of devices and how to deal with patients dealing with these devices
