How Posture, Activity, HRV data with AI Are Enhancing Heart Function Research _ Next-Gen Research Techniques

🧠 Can AI and Wearables Transform Heart Function Research?
From posture to activity levels, new AI-driven insights reveal how daily movements shape cardiovascular health.

In this episode, we explore how body position, physical activity, and AI-enhanced HRV data are revolutionizing heart function research. Wearable devices now track posture shifts—sitting, standing, lying down—and physical activity levels in real time, allowing researchers to analyze how these factors influence heart rate and autonomic function. Machine learning plays a key role by detecting patterns, predicting recovery trends, and identifying conditions like Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Whether it's monitoring athletes' training adaptations or assessing the risks of prolonged sedentary behavior, AI-powered wearables provide continuous, real-world cardiovascular insights like never before.
