Abstract

Smart watches, which are a rapidly developing technology that can record and store personal health data such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, ECG, and sports activities. We presented a patient who applied to the emergency department due to palpitation and he recorded an ECG output with a smart watch before admission. In this case, we emphasized that the use of smart watches in the prehospital period can help the diagnosis process of dysrhythmias in the hospital setting.
