Abstract

Abstract: Cardiac rehabilitation serves as a cornerstone of non-pharmacological intervention for cardiovascular diseases in the elderly, demonstrating significant value in improving cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and reducing rehospitalization rates. However, elderly patients often present with complex conditions such as chronic heart insufficiency, and traditional rehabilitation models face challenges including poor adherence and insufficient monitoring. Wearable devices, leveraging age-friendly design, real-time physiological monitoring, and remote interaction capabilities, have emerged as innovative solutions for geriatric cardiac rehabilitation. This article systematically reviews advancements in wearable device applications across three domains: exercise prescription adjustment, cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and quality-of-life improvement, and real-time safety alert monitoring. Drawing on domestic and international clinical evidence, it explores the practical value and future directions of wearable devices in geriatric cardiac rehabilitation, providing references for clinical implementation and practice.
