Researchers at the National Taiwan University have published studies showing that physiological data from Garmin trackers can be used to predict panic attacks with 92% accuracy.
The studies utilized biometric insights from the Garmin Vivosmart series to collect data on metrics like heart rate, sleep, and activity levels, combined with self-reported information on emotional state and environmental data from a mobile app.
The combined dataset was fed into a machine learning model to predict the likelihood of a participant having a panic attack in the following week.
The research not only achieved high accuracy in prediction but also went beyond just prediction, providing valuable insights.
Author's summary: Garmin data predicts panic attacks with 92% accuracy.
