Compatibility of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) wearable sensors in the MRI environment will enable the creative use of wearable devices to monitor vital signs such as heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature, and biochemical markers during a scan. In this work, we demonstrate efficacy of BLE sensors at the novel 0.55T MRI field strength and evaluate the noise in a wearable caused by rapidly switching MRI gradients, as well as MRI noise/artifacts introduced by a BLE wearable.
