A study observed how well researchers could interpret ECG data from various wearables, and Apple Watch came out as the most favorable but is no better at detecting atrial fibrillation than others.
Apple Watch sensors
Electrocardiograms (ECG) are typically performed on patients to determine abnormal heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation. Advanced medical equipment will use multiple leads connected to a person’s body to gather accurate readings, but wearables like Apple Watch can take a less substantial single-lead reading.
