Are Smart Watches Really Smart? Comparison of Blood Oxygen Saturation Values Measured by Smart Watch, Pulse Oximetry and Arterial Blood Gases in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Oxygen saturation is an important parameter for the follow-up of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients. Pulse oximeters are the most common non-invasive way to assess peripheral blood saturation. Invasive way for this is blood gas analyses. Smart watches are actually developed as sports and physical activity watches in order to be used in daily routine by assessing vital parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation. In this sense, they can help better monitoring for patients with COPD on the other hand accuracy of these devices is the major concern. Background: This study aims to evaluate the correlation of oxygen saturation assessed by smart watch, pulse oximetry and blood gas analyses in COPD patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study evaluating the pulse oximetry technology of smart watch by comparing it real time oxygen saturation measurements of conventional pulse device and arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis in 100 patients with COPD. Results: A moderate correlation was found between oxygen saturation levels obtained by smart watch, pulse oximetry and ABG. Conclusion: Smart watches are really smart. Thus, COPD patients can use smart watches to measure oxygen saturation levels in their daily lives. However, SpO2 measurements should be tested in other patient groups and also different degrees of COPD.
