Abstract
The article discusses the benefits of continuous data monitoring in healthcare via digital devices and wearables. The purpose is to discuss recent advancements in digital health technologies and how they can positively impact the quality of life in chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and dementia. In addition, the article discusses how large amounts of health data, medical patient information, and continuous monitoring can assist in positive patient feedback, symptom interpretation, and early disease detection. Data processing and simulation programs, such as digital twins, showed evidence of predictive validity. Machine learning algorithms showed evidence of identifying patterns and relationships in the data, improving patient outcomes, and supporting healthcare decision-making. However, clinical validations from experts are necessary to ensure correct diagnoses, prognoses, and treatment plans.
