What this trial studies

This pilot randomized clinical trial evaluates the impact of remotely collected patient-generated health data (PGHD) on the management of older patients undergoing bypass surgery for chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Participants will be randomized into two groups, one receiving integrated PGHD displayed on an electronic health record (EHR) system and the other receiving standard care with data stored but not displayed. The study aims to assess the feasibility of this approach in improving post-operative mobility and quality of life by monitoring symptoms through a smartwatch app. The trial will also focus on ensuring quality assurance and successful participant engagement throughout the study.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are older adults aged 60 and above who are undergoing revascularization surgery for chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

Not a fit: Patients at high risk of post-surgical amputation or those with significant co-morbidities may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance post-surgical care and improve recovery outcomes for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using mobile health technologies for patient monitoring, suggesting potential success for this novel approach.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* age \>= 60; Patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia who are undergoing re-vascular surgery \[endovascular or open re-vascularization (bypass)\].

Exclusion Criteria:

* High risk of post-surgical amputation based on study physician judgement, non-english speaker, diagnosis of an age-related dementia (e.g. Alzheimer's Disease); unable to communicate because of severe hearing loss; uncorrectable vision impairment that compromises clinical assessments or would cause a safety concern, other significant co-morbid disease that in the opinion of the investigators and study physician would impair the ability to participate in the study or be a safety concern
