Artificial Intelligence, Wearables and Remote Monitoring for Heart Failure: Current and Future Applications.

Substantial milestones have been attained in the field of heart failure (HF) diagnostics and therapeutics in the past several years that have translated into decreased mortality but a paradoxical increase in HF-related hospitalizations. With increasing data digitalization and access, remote monitoring via wearables and implantables have the potential to transform ambulatory care workflow, with a particular focus on reducing HF hospitalizations. Additionally, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) have been increasingly employed at multiple stages of healthcare due to their power in assimilating and integrating multidimensional multimodal data and the creation of accurate prediction models.

Contemporary Applications of Machine Learning for Device Therapy in Heart Failure.

Despite a better understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of heart failure (HF), pharmacotherapy, surgical, and percutaneous interventions do not prevent disease progression in all patients, and a significant proportion of patients end up requiring advanced therapies. Machine learning (ML) is gaining wider acceptance in cardiovascular medicine because of its ability to incorporate large, complex, and multidimensional data and to potentially facilitate the creation of predictive models not constrained by many of the limitations of traditional statistical approaches. With the coexistence of "big data" and novel advanced analytic techniques using ML, there is ever-increasing research into applying ML in the context of HF with the goal of improving patient outcomes.
