Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Procedure with sedation

Brief summary

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

Detailed description

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.

Interventions

DEVICEConsumer-facing wearable smart watch

Wearable watch technology that has the ability to measure heart rate, respiratory rate, single-lead electrocardiography, and blood oxygen saturation.
