"Moving forward, we will focus on developing personalised models. The daily use of a simple smartwatch constantly provides new information on personal heart dynamics, enabling us to continuously refine and retrain our model for that patient to achieve enhanced performance with even earlier warnings," concludes Prof. Goncalves.

"Here's an example -- your smartwatch screen is off most of the time. During the off-time of the screen, instead of displaying information, it can harvest light to charge your watch, significantly extending how long you can go between charges," says Chunxiong Bao, associate professor at Nanjing University, previously a postdoc researcher at LiU and the lead author of the paper.

"You want to monitor the condition of your car, the condition of machines, the condition of plants and soil and those kinds of things.
