About this trial
This clinical trial evaluates the accuracy of the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 smartwatch in measuring vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO₂) compared to the clinically validated Philips IntelliVue X2. The study aims to determine whether the consumer-grade smartwatch can provide reliable data for remote patient monitoring, early hospital discharge, and chronic disease management, offering a more accessible and affordable alternative to MDR-certified devices.

Treatments tested in this trial
Garmin Venu 3 or Garmin Venu 4 + Philips Intellivue X2
DeviceEach participant will be continuously monitored for a minimum of one full night and up to a maximum of 24 hours using both a hospital-grade monitor (Philips IntelliVue X2) and a Garmin Venu 3 or Garmin Venu 4 smartwatch.
Smartwatch rating scale questionnaire
Other interventionUpon completion of the monitoring period, participants will be asked to complete the Smartwatch Rating Scale (SRS) questionnaire

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Mean absolute difference between the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 and a hospital-grade monitor in measuring heart rate up to 24 hours.
For heart rate, the mean absolute difference will be calulated between the measurements performed with the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 and the measurements performed with the Philips Intellivue X2
Mean absolute difference between the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 and a hospital-grade monitor in measuring respiratory rate up to 24 hours.
For respiratory rate, the mean absolute difference will be calculated between the measurements performed with the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 and the measurements performed with the Philips IntelliVue X2
Mean absolute difference between the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 and a hospital-grade monitor in measuring peripheral oxygen saturation up to 24 hours.
For peripheral oxygen satuation (SpO2), the mean absolute difference will be calculated between the measurements performed with the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 and the measurements performed with the Philips IntelliVue X2.
Secondary outcomes
User experience of the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 as measured by the Smartwatch Rating Scale
User experience of the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 as measured by the Smartwatch Rating Scale
Number of artefacts during measurements performed when the participant is awake vs measurements performed when the participant is asleep (expressed in % measurements)
Measurements reported as a '0' due to the inability of the device to perform a correct measurement will be labeled as false.
Time to detection of a sudden drop in SpO2 or clinical deterioration measured by the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 vs a hospital-grade monitor
In the event of patient deterioration, changes may be reflected in SpO2 levels. This endpoint will evaluate the time taken by the Garmin Venu 3 / Garmin Venu 4 compared to a hospital-grade monitor to detect such changes.
