Resumo
[Abstract]
The use and deployment of mobile devices across society is phenomenal with an increasing
number of individuals using mobile devices to track their everyday health. However, there is a
paucity of academic material examining this recent trend. Specifically, little is known about the use
and deployment of mobile heart monitoring devices for measuring palpitations and arrhythmia.
In this scoping literature review, we identify the contemporary evidence that reports the use of
mobile heart monitoring to assess palpitations and arrhythmia across populations. The review was
conducted between February and March 2018. Five electronic databases were searched: Association
for Computing Machinery (ACM), CINHAL, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. A total of 981
records were identified and, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, nine papers formed the
final stage of the review. The results identified a total of six primary themes: purpose, environment,
population, wearable devices, assessment, and study design. A further 24 secondary themes were
identified across the primary themes. These included detection, cost effectiveness, recruitment, type of
setting, type of assessment, and commercial or purpose-built mobile device. This scoping review
highlights that further work is required to understand the impact of mobile heart monitoring devices
on how arrhythmias and palpitations are assessed and measured across all populations and ages of
society. A positive trend revealed by this review demonstrates how mobile heart monitoring devices
can support primary care providers to deliver high levels of care at a low cost to the service provider.
This has several benefits: alleviation of patient anxiety, lowering the risk of morbidity and mortality,
while progressively influencing national and international care pathway guidelines. Limitations of
this work include the paucity of knowledge and insight from primary care providers and lack of
qualitative material. We argue that future studies consider qualitative and mixed methods approaches
to complement quantitative methodologies and to ensure all actors’ experiences are recorded.
