Can consumer wearables support outpatient health monitoring for patients with post-acute infection syndromes? A systematic umbrella review of accuracy, validity, and clinical utility data.

A systematic umbrella review published in PLOS Digital Health examined whether consumer-grade wearable devices can reliably support outpatient monitoring of patients with post-acute infection syndromes, including long COVID. The review evaluated available evidence on the accuracy, validity, and practical clinical utility of these devices for this population. Findings have direct implications for physical therapists managing patients with post-acute sequelae, where remote monitoring of activity, heart rate, and recovery metrics is increasingly common.
