Can a commercially available smartwatch detect true cardiac arrest?
This case report provides initial evidence demonstrating the feasibility of using a commercially available smartwatch to detect cardiac arrest.
Although this controlled end-of-life setting does not represent the circumstances of an OHCA, this case demonstrates the feasibility of detecting true cardiac arrest using a commercial available smartwatch. Prospective studies in real-world OHCA populations are needed to assess clinical performance and practical applicability.
