The Pulse Revolution: How Monitoring Your Heartbeat is Shaping the Future of Medicine #3

How Technology is Revolutionizing Pulse Measurement in Medicine

With the rise of technology, the way we measure the pulse has significantly evolved. Wearable devices like smartwatches, fitness trackers, and even smartphone apps can now monitor pulse continuously. These innovations provide real-time data, allowing for better patient monitoring outside of clinical settings. Digital pulse monitors, such as those used in hospitals, offer more precise readings, and advanced algorithms can detect irregular heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation. However, while these tools bring convenience and accuracy, they also raise questions about reliability in different patient populations and clinical scenarios.
