Monitoring patients with smartwatches to predict post-surgery complications

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to quantify complications following major visceral surgeries, such as pancreatic resection and colorectal surgery, by utilizing smartwatch technology to collect digital biomarkers. Patients will wear a smartwatch during the perioperative period and complete health questionnaires to help identify those at risk for post-operative complications. The goal is to enhance preoperative management through continuous monitoring of vital parameters, thereby improving patient outcomes. The study will recruit a total of 50 patients scheduled for elective surgeries under general anesthesia.
