FAPO-2: Cardiac Patient Monitoring Tool for Clinical Observation and Arrhythmia Detection

Exclusion Criteria

• •Presence of skin conditions, such as vitiligo, lupus, or atopic dermatitis, as well as tattoos on the wrist that may interfere with the smartwatch's optical sensor readings;
• •Known sensitivity or history of allergic reactions to components of the wearable devices or related items, such as adhesives or electrodes;
• •Inability to properly use the wearable monitoring devices due to physical, cognitive, or technological limitations;
• •Presence of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) or arteriovenous fistula;
• •Presence of implanted cardiac devices, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or cardiac resynchronization devices, which prevent ECG acquisition via smartwatch;
• •Diagnosis of conditions associated with narrowing or obstruction of the aorta and subclavian arteries (e.g., Stanford Type A chronic aortic dissection, Takayasu arteritis, Subclavian Steal Syndrome, or Kawasaki disease), which may cause discrepancies in blood pressure between upper limbs and interfere with study assessments.
