Study type
InterventionalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy and safety of smart watches in the endoscopy suite for patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures with sedation.
The term wearable technology encompasses a wide spectrum of devices worn on or near a person. Market research suggests that one in five Americans are users of wearable technology with the market currently valued at over 30 billion dollars annually. These devices have the ability to record physical information, ranging from heart rate to pulse oximetry, as well as audio and video. These devices are often marketed to improve health and well-being, and there has been significant interest in their use to diagnose, monitor and treat disease. Rigorous studies of consumer-facing products have shown significant issues with accuracy and reliability. We will provide a timely and much-needed framework that addresses both practical and theoretical considerations around a technology that has become increasingly relevant to patients.
