Smartwatches and health summaries could aid ICU recovery
NCT ID NCT07035106
First seen Nov 01, 2025
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether wearable devices like smartwatches, smart scales, and blood pressure monitors can help people recover after a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Many ICU survivors face physical and mental challenges, known as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome. The study will give some participants wearable devices and bi-weekly health summaries, with optional lifestyle coaching, to see if these tools are practical and helpful. Over 6 months, researchers will track how well participants use the technology and whether it improves their quality of life.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Wearable health monitoring devices (Garmin Vivosmart 5, smart scale, blood pressure monitor) and digital health summaries with optional lifestyle counseling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that wearable technology and digital summaries are practical tools to support recovery after intensive care, potentially improving quality of life for ICU survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The focus is on feasibility, not on proving health benefits, and some participants may find the devices difficult to use.
