Garmin vívosmart 5 Activity Tracker

⌚ Your Personal Health Guardian - 24/7 COPD Monitoring Made Simple

Never wonder about your health status again. The Garmin vívosmart 5 is like having a respiratory therapist on your wrist, continuously monitoring the vital signs that matter most for COPD management - heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep quality, and energy levels - all with gentle alerts when something needs attention.

"I love seeing my Body Battery score each morning. It tells me if I'm ready for activities or need to take it easy - perfect for managing my COPD energy." - Robert M., COPD Patient

💓 Why Continuous Health Monitoring Transforms COPD Management

Early Warning System: Catch problems before they become emergencies. Abnormal heart rate alerts can signal brewing exacerbations hours before you feel symptoms, giving you time to use rescue medications or contact your doctor.

Energy Management: The Body Battery™ feature tracks your energy reserves throughout the day, helping you pace activities and avoid the dangerous overexertion that can trigger COPD flare-ups.

Sleep Quality Insights: Poor sleep worsens COPD symptoms. Advanced sleep tracking helps identify breathing disruptions, restless nights, or sleep patterns that affect your daytime breathing.

Stress Response Monitoring: COPD anxiety and breathing difficulties create chronic stress. Continuous stress tracking with guided breathing exercises helps you stay calm and breathe easier.
