First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This small pilot study will test whether a smartwatch can measure pain in people with knee osteoarthritis by detecting tiny electrical changes in the skin. Fifteen participants will wear a smartwatch while doing simple activities like standing up from a chair or walking. The goal is to see if the watch's signals match how much pain people report, which could lead to better pain tracking in the future.
