"The research will collect data from up to 60,000 participants using Garmin smartwatches to assess optimal outcomes for pregnancy and early childhood development. It will monitor metrics like heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep patterns, physical activity, energy expenditure, , and beat-to-beat intervals. Clinical studies that use AI will assess the data Garmin smartwatches collect to further understand and address common pregnancy conditions, like gestational diabetes, hypertension, and perinatal depression, with the aim of improving health conditions during and post-pregnancy."
"The majority of women are not exercising enough during pregnancy, King's College professor Josip Car, director of King's Population Institute, explained at Garmin's Health Summit. The study will monitor activity levels of women and their partners during pregnancy and early childhood as part of its exercise-as-medicine program. The program aims to reduce gestational diabetes by 40% and hypertension during pregnancy by 40%."
Garmin and King's College London launched the EMBRACE program to collect physiological data from up to 60,000 participants using Garmin smartwatches. The study will monitor heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep patterns, physical activity, energy expenditure, and beat-to-beat intervals. AI-driven clinical studies will analyze the smartwatch data to better understand and address gestational diabetes, pregnancy hypertension, and perinatal depression. The program will track activity levels of pregnant women and their partners across the UK, Canada, China, Ghana, Peru, and Spain. The exercise-as-medicine initiative sets targets to reduce gestational diabetes and pregnancy hypertension by 40% each.
