Electrocardiogram (
ECG)
monitoring owns important clinical value in
diagnosis, prevention and
rehabilitation of
cardiovascular disease (CVD). With the rapid development of
Internet of Things (IoT),
big data,
cloud computing,
artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced
technologies, wearable ECG is playing an increasingly important
role. With the
aging process of the
population, it is more and more urgent to upgrade the diagnostic mode of CVD. Using AI
technology to assist the clinical
analysis of long-term ECGs, and thus to improve the
ability of early
detection and prediction of CVD has become an important direction. Intelligent wearable
ECG monitoring needs the collaboration between edge and
cloud computing. Meanwhile, the clarity of medical scene is conducive for the precise implementation of wearable
ECG monitoring. This
paper first summarized the progress of AI-related
ECG studies and the current technical
orientation. Then three cases were depicted to illustrate how the AI in wearable
ECG cooperate with the clinic. Finally, we demonstrated the two core issues-the reliability and worth of AI-related
ECG technology and prospected the
future opportunities and challenges.
