Advancements in Flexible and Wearable Echocardiograms for Real-Time Continuous Cardiovascular Monitoring
摘要
Cardiac monitoring is essential for evaluating heart conditions and assessing cardiovascular diseases, which remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Traditional echocardiogram devices, while effective, are often bulky, stationary, and require constant clinical supervision, limiting their use for continuous and real-time monitoring.
Recent FindingsDespite the growing demand for more convenient and user-friendly solutions, the current market lacks flexible and wearable echocardiographic options that provide practical cardiac assessments. The development of accessible, flexible, and wearable echocardiographic techniques provides a transformative opportunity to enhance cardiovascular care by offering non-invasive, real-time, and personalized cardiac results.
SummaryIn this review, we highlight the recent advancements in flexible and wearable echocardiographic devices, focusing on improvements in imaging accuracy, dynamic functionality, and wearability under varying conditions. Understanding these developments will help promote further innovation in cardiac technology, ultimately leading to greater patient prognoses and a more streamlined approach to cardiovascular health management.
