Fig. 2. Smart wearable data workflow and integration in clinical practice.

Schematic representation of how wearables can be optimally integrated in patient care. Raw and processed wearable data can provide actionable clinical information to health-care professionals that can help them with cardiovascular disease risk assessment, diagnosis and management. In addition, wearable data can be processed to develop personalized, real-time and adaptive health coaching interventions delivered directly to the patient. Finally, wearable data can be continuously stored in secure, personal health clouds or electronic health records (EHR) for advanced data processing and visualization and to share the data with third parties and research studies through transparent data user agreements.
