Effect of a grace period on false alarm rates of smartwatch-based out-of-hospital cardiac arrest detection systems: a pilot study
The findings in this study suggest that the application of a grace period to smartwatch-based OHCA detection systems may potentially reduce false alarms reaching EMS with only minor delays. Further research is warranted in a larger implementation set-up.
