App usage evolved from health maintenance to medical care

公開日:2021.01.15

ウェアラブル技術の進展と健康への人々の意識向上を背景に、ウェアラブル端末のアプリの用途が従来の健康維持・増進から医療に広がっています。心電図機能が搭載されている腕時計型端末は常時データをチェックすることが可能なことから、不整脈の兆候を早めに察知でき、早期診断につながる可能性があります。

常時、不整脈の検知が可能

Since Apple Watch Series 4 has a built-in electronic heart rate sensor, you can measure ECG by combining it with the ECG app (as of January 27, 2021, used in 66 countries and regions including Japan). Possible). This ECG app has been certified as a medical device by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. In July of last year, PMDA (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency) set "Home Electrocardiograph Program" and "Home Heart Rate Monitor Program" as new medical device genres (general names), and the ECG app corresponds to this. To do.

患者が不整脈の症状を訴えても、診察室での医療用の心電計による計測では異常を検知できず、確実な診断が下しにくい場合が少なくありません。24時間計測を行うホルダー型の心電計も同様です。アップルウォッチを常時身につけることで、夜間でも早朝でも不整脈を検知できます。アプリには、不整脈の兆候が出た場合にアラートを知らせる機能も付いています。早めに診察を受けることで早期診断が可能となり、脳梗塞などの発症予防に役立つ可能性があります。また、早期診断による重症化防止は医療費抑制にもつながります。

健常者40万人を対象としたApple heart Studyでは、0.52%に心房細動が検出され、陽性的中率は84%でした。アップルウォッチの海外モデルを入手して国内で循環器診療に用いる医療機関も出てきています。

オンデマンド型も登場

フランスのWithingsが開発した「Move ECG」はオンデマンドタイプの心電図計測機能をもつスマートウォッチです。昨年秋、欧州で発売されました(日本未発売)。自分の好きなタイミングで計測を行うことが可能です。

The measurement method is to touch the bezel (outer part of the LCD display) of the watch with the hand of the person who is not wearing the watch. The measurement time is 30 seconds. The measurement results of the app are displayed as "normal sinus rhythm", "atrial fibrillation", "unclassifiable", etc. The measurement data can be shared with the doctor as a PDF, which can be useful for medical treatment.
