First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks if a smartwatch can measure how fast you breathe as accurately as medical devices like spirometers. Sixty healthy adults will wear the watch while their breathing is also measured by standard hospital equipment. If the watch is reliable, it could one day help people monitor their breathing at home without special gear.
