  • Publication number: 20240156357
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for cardiac monitoring. A method may include comparing, using a machine learning (ML) algorithm, an activity level of a user with one or more heart rate parameters of the user to determine whether a discordance is present between the activity level and the one or more heart rate parameters. In response to detecting that a discordance is present, performing an electrocardiogram (ECG) of the user to obtain ECG data of the user. An ML algorithm may be trained to detect an arrythmia using a historical set of training data including the activity level, the one or more heart rate parameters and previously recorded heart rate parameters, and a historical set of ECG data including the ECG data and previously recorded ECG data.
