Summary
This study checks if the Garmin Venu 3 and Venu 4 smartwatches can accurately measure heart rate, breathing rate, and blood oxygen levels compared to a standard hospital monitor. About 30 hospitalized adults will wear both devices for up to 24 hours. If the smartwatch proves reliable, it could enable remote patient monitoring and earlier discharge.
