The Smart Lifestyle Monitor Widget is an app designed for Garmin smartwatches, offering a unique tool for continuously monitoring and analyzing health parameters in detail. Initially developed as an all-day heart rate monitoring widget, heart rate variability (HRV) tracking was later integrated as well. Throughout development, the app introduced revolutionary innovations for Garmin devices, including AI support, which provides users with real-time, personalized health advice.
The app works by analyzing users’ long-term health data and comparing it with the current day’s values to provide a comprehensive view of their momentary health status. Additionally, with the latest developments, a unique patented method was integrated for measuring body temperature using skin temperature correction. This method is officially registered as intellectual property, further enhancing the app’s innovation value.
The app’s main goal is to continuously monitor the user's heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV). These data points are essential for predicting health status, as heart rate deviations often signal physical exertion, stress, or even early signs of illness. The app collects data over a month to form a stable average. However, users can opt to fill out a questionnaire to shorten the learning process to just one week. This questionnaire covers key health information, such as medications, sleep habits, stress levels, and goals. These data allow the AI to consider individual factors and provide more accurate, personalized feedback.
Learning phase: The app’s learning process starts automatically when the user begins using the app. The system continuously collects data, and after one month, it forms a stable average, which the AI uses to analyze current values. However, if the user fills out the questionnaire after one week, the learning phase ends, and the app starts working with the values learned thus far. Users can restart the learning process at any time if they are dissatisfied with the long-term values.
One of the app’s standout features is the patented method for measuring body temperature, which is based on skin temperature correction. Unlike traditional methods, this technology offers more accurate results and allows for the monitoring of body temperature using wearable devices like Garmin smartwatches. This technology has been officially registered as intellectual property with the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office, making the app unique on the market.
Calibration: To ensure accurate body temperature measurements, users can calibrate their body temperature in the app’s Body Temperature main menu. This calibration helps achieve more precise measurements by accounting for the user’s unique physiological characteristics.
The app features two notification modes: static and AI-based. Static notifications are pre-programmed alerts that provide general health warnings, such as high heart rate or abnormal body temperature. AI-based notifications, on the other hand, are much more detailed and personalized, as the app considers the user's specific health data, such as medications, sleep patterns, or stress levels.
AI notifications: The app alerts the user if:
In AI mode, the app regularly sends summaries to the user, which include step count, calories burned, stress levels, respiratory rate, and other health data. These summaries help the AI provide more accurate and relevant suggestions for the user.
The app comes with a menu available on all Garmin smartwatches, accessed by holding down the MENU button on Fenix, Descent, and Epix series watches, or by pressing the lower right button on Venu series watches. The app’s menu offers numerous features that allow users to fully customize the app’s functionality:
The Smart Lifestyle Monitor Widget is a state-of-the-art tool that provides Garmin smartwatch users with real-time health monitoring, personalized AI-based advice, and body temperature measurements. The app’s revolutionary patented technology and detailed notification system allow users to proactively monitor their health and respond to changes in time. Through the personalized recommendations provided by the AI, the app offers unique opportunities for users to better understand their bodies and improve their overall well-being.
