Summary

Wearables are increasingly used in pediatric cardiology for heart rate monitoring due to advantages over traditional heart rate monitoring, such as prolonged monitoring time, increased patient comfort and ease of use. However, their validation in this population is limited. The objective is to assess HR accuracy and validity from two wearables, the Corsano CardioWatch bracelet and Hexoskin shirt, in children attending the pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic, exploring factors that influence accuracy, the Hexoskin shirt’s arrhythmia detection efficacy, and patient satisfaction.
