Real-time vital-sign monitoring after major urologic surgery to spot complications early

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 tests whether continuous vital-sign monitoring with the Portrait Mobile wearable can identify postoperative complications earlier than standard ward monitoring in adults recovering from major urologic surgery. It focuses on detecting changes in heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygen saturation that may indicate respiratory or hemodynamic deterioration in the first days after surgery. The study analyzes how often vital-sign changes occur and whether trends or deviations from baseline signal pending complications. Results could inform whether wireless monitoring improves early recognition of deterioration outside the intensive care setting.
