The Pulse Revolution: How Monitoring Your Heartbeat is Shaping the Future of Medicine #7

Challenges and Limitations of Continuous Pulse Monitoring

Despite its potential, continuous pulse monitoring is not without its challenges. For one, wearable devices and home monitoring systems can produce false alarms due to motion artifacts, device misplacement, or even technical errors. Furthermore, not all patients have access to the necessary technology, leading to disparities in care. Additionally, while monitoring the pulse can provide important data, it is not always enough to diagnose conditions accurately without additional testing. The question remains: how can we improve these systems to ensure both accessibility and accuracy?
