Our Nature paper “Consumer wearable devices for evaluation of heart rate control… (RATE-AF trial)” demonstrates how continuous remote monitoring using consumer wearables and smartphones via RADAR-base can generate clinically meaningful data at scale, with over 140 million data points collected and analysed, showing equivalence to traditional in-clinic assessments for evaluating patient status and treatment response. The paper’s citation in the UK Government’s Fit for the Future: 10 Year Health Plan reflects its significance as a proof-of-concept for the NHS’s strategic shift from analogue to digital, supporting remote monitoring, prevention, and data-driven care models that move services closer to patients’ homes.
