Abstract

Emergency department overcrowding remains a persistent challenge despite established metrics; our comparison of hourly smartwatch-derived Subjective Overcrowding Index (SOI) with NEDOCS (r = 0.277), EDWIN (r = 0.177), and EDOR (r = 0.465) shows only moderate alignment with EDOR, underscoring the need for an index that accurately captures frontline perceptions.
