Researchers want to see if an Apple Watch can help predict how well heart failure patients will recover. The study collects daily health measurements — like heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep, and activity — from your smartwatch and combines them with your clinical information to build a computer model that predicts important health changes.
Heart failure is unpredictable, and doctors currently rely on blood tests and imaging to monitor patients. This research aims to fill that gap by using everyday smartwatch technology to spot warning signs earlier, potentially helping doctors intervene before a patient gets worse.

You would wear an Apple Watch that collects data about your heart rate, breathing, oxygen levels, sleep, temperature, and daily activity. The researchers extract this data regularly and compare it with your clinical test results from the hospital. The study involves 32 patients total and focuses on understanding patterns in your data that might predict how your heart failure progresses.
