Health Asia 2026 wraps up: Smart heart patch advances to validation in Saudi Arabia
The "Asia Health 2026" exhibition in Karachi concluded with the introduction of a new heart monitoring technology—an electronic patch that lasts up to 30 days. This device uses artificial intelligence algorithms to detect arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and tachycardia more accurately and over a longer period than traditional methods. This technology helps identify intermittent heart irregularities that may not be visible during short-term tests, with usage showing approximately 6.3 times higher detection rates compared to conventional examinations. It is currently being tested in Saudi Arabia at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Dallah Hospital, aiming to verify its performance in the local clinical environment and ensure its accuracy when used on different patients, with an emphasis on local validation before full adoption of the results.
