Wearable Devices for Training and Patient Monitoring: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Introduction:
Wearable technologies and remote patient monitoring (RPM) are transforming sports and healthcare by enabling continuous and real-time monitoring of various health parameters. These innovations hold significant potential for improving training outcomes in physical rehabilitation and fitness programs, managing chronic diseases, and enhancing patient engagement.

Aim of the Study:
This review aims to summarize and highlight the most relevant findings on the current status, clinical applications, challenges, and prospects of wearable health-related sensing technologies in the context of training and chronic disease management.

Material and Methods:
A review of scientific publications from 2018 to 2024 was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Keywords such as "wearable," "remote patient monitoring," "sensors," "training," and "chronic disease management" were used.

Conclusions:
Wearable devices are gaining popularity among the entire population, not only among individuals with chronic health conditions. The use of wearable technologies has shown promise in improving training and health outcomes by providing continuous monitoring, personalized care, and enhanced training programs. However, challenges such as data accuracy, privacy concerns, and integration with healthcare systems must be addressed and present opportunities for future advancements.
