Smartwatches tested to monitor kids on antibiotics
NCT ID NCT07093749
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how families feel about antibiotic use and whether a Garmin smartwatch can track symptoms in children aged 4-17 with common infections like UTIs, tonsillitis, or skin infections. About 300 children from the Royal Children's Hospital Emergency Department will wear the watch during their antibiotic course. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable and practical for future research.

Garmin Smartwatch
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that wearable devices are a practical way to monitor children's symptoms during antibiotic treatment, helping design future trials.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, not testing treatment effectiveness. The smartwatch may be uncomfortable or not worn consistently, and results may not apply to all children.
