Wearable Technology in Endoscopy

A Prospective Study of the Role and Accuracy of Consumer-Facing Wearable Technology in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Researchers are assessing the accuracy and safety of wearable technology in subjects undergoing endoscopic gastrointestinal procedures with sedation.

This is a prospective, non-blinded, exploratory study to assess the accuracy and safety of wearable devices in the endoscopy suite with patients undergoing procedures using anesthesia assisted sedation using smart watches. We will also simultaneously perform an assessment of patient and provider preferences using narrative-driven, qualitative evaluation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults over 18 years of age.
• Undergoing anesthesia-assisted endoscopic procedures.
• Able to give appropriate consent to the study or have an appropriate representative to do so.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnancy.
• Physical deformity, wound, or dressing preventing placement of a wearable device on the wrist.
• Allergy to aluminum, nickel or acrylate.
