This paper reviews the technology to assist the elderly in monitoring their heart health. Post-COVID19 pandemic, heart disease is back as the main cause of death among the global citizens, especially the elderly. Technology plays a big role in ensuring that elderly can monitor their heart health more easily and effectively. Among the technologies that can be used are wearable devices, mobile ECG devices, mobile applications, pacemaker implants, and IoT sensors. Some of the potentials of heart health monitoring technology include helping to monitor health independently, in real time, remotely, schedule medication intake, schedule heart rate recording, schedule light physical activity, and communicate directly with specialist doctors to discuss the status and level of their heart health. However, the potential of such technology has several challenges such as usability, affordances, cost, and trust in data confidentiality and privacy.
