手錶跳心顫先別慌!國際研究驚爆:警報恐半數是假的

Quick Look

最新國際研究指出,智慧手錶的心房顫動偵測功能存在高比例誤診,導致過度醫療與民眾焦慮。研究顯示,儘管診斷率提升,但對降低中風或死亡風險效益微弱,專家建議警報僅供參考,無需盲目恐慌。

Why It Matters

智慧手錶內建健康監測功能已普及,但其準確性與臨床效益引發醫學界關注。

智慧手錶已成為不少民眾生活的一部分,其內建的各種健康監測更是成了用戶「私人醫生」,不少人全天穿戴,以便隨時關注自己的身體狀況。然而,最新國際研究警示,智慧手錶的「心房顫動偵測」功能可能存在高比例的「誤診」,讓民眾徒增焦慮或不需要的醫療費。

據韓媒報導,美、歐多國研究團隊針對蘋果(Apple)、三星(Samsung)等智慧手錶的心房顫動(AFib)檢測功能進行分析發現,雖然智慧手錶能協助早期發現,但國際期刊研究顯示,在日常生活環境中,手錶發出「誤診」的比例將大幅上升。

2026年刊登於《斯堪地那維亞基層衛生照護雜誌》的丹麥與挪威聯合研究更發現,穿戴裝置持續監測雖使心房顫動診斷率提升3倍、抗凝血藥物開立率增加2倍,但對降低中風或死亡等健康風險的效益卻相當微弱。

研究團隊評估指出,穿戴智慧手錶導致「過度醫療」(因一些細小症狀、不足以對健康構成威脅的疾病進行無益的治療)的比例為8%至29%之間,若僅計算身體無異常病例,則有高達47%至65%使用者因「誤診」而就醫。專家提醒,智慧手錶警報可作為健康參考,但不必過度恐慌,若民眾本身無相關症狀,盲目依賴日常穿戴裝置監測,恐陷入無效診斷與過度醫療的困境。

Open Questions

  • 未來穿戴裝置是否會調整演算法以降低誤診率?
