Testing smartwatch accuracy for measuring breathing rate
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately measure how fast you breathe. Researchers will compare the smartwatch's readings to medical-grade equipment to see if smartwatches could be useful for health monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
This study tests how well a smartwatch measures oxygen levels in people with pulmonary hypertension during a 6-minute walk. It could help find a simpler way to check oxygen at home.
This trial tests a smartwatch tool to track heart rhythm and detect problems in people with heart disease. It may help find irregular heartbeats early during routine checkups.
This study tests how accurately a small device on your finger measures breathing rate in the emergency department. It could help doctors quickly and easily track patients' breathing without extra equipment.
This study uses a Fitbit smartwatch to track your heart activity and predict your risk for heart problems. You might help researchers learn how everyday wearable devices can spot early signs of heart disease.
This study is testing whether a connected watch (like a smartwatch) can accurately record your heart's electrical activity (an ECG) during a hospital stay or clinic visit. If it works well, it could make checking your heart easier and more convenient.
