Using remote monitoring to predict recovery after surgery
ALgorithms Adapted From Remote Monitoring
This study is testing if using remote monitoring technology can help track how well patients recover after surgery and predict any problems they might face.

What this trial studies
This observational study utilizes remote monitoring technology to track patients' responses to stress and their recovery progress following complex surgical procedures. By employing the Mayo Clinic Watch Device, the study aims to detect early symptoms and normalize patients' responses to their individual baselines. The data collected will contribute to developing algorithms that predict clinical decline, enhancing postoperative care and recovery outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older scheduled for complex surgeries that require significant recovery time.
Not a fit: Patients under 18, pregnant individuals, or those unable to commit to daily exercise as outlined in the protocol may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved recovery monitoring and interventions for surgical patients, potentially reducing complications and enhancing overall outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of remote monitoring in surgical recovery is gaining interest, this specific approach and its predictive algorithms are relatively novel and have not been extensively tested in prior studies.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * 18 years and older * Scheduled to undergo surgery resulting in a complex recovery as evaluated by the treating Department of Surgery surgeon. This includes but is not limited to the following inpatient elective surgery procedures: esophagectomy, pancreatectomy, major liver resections, open vascular surgery, lower extremity bypass, colectomy, and complex pulmonary resections (lobes and above). * Subjects are committed to daily exercise as outlined in the protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * \<18 years of age * Subject is pregnant * Subject is dismissed from the hospital to a nursing home or long term care facility. * Subject cannot commitment to daily exercise as outlined in the protocol. * Subjects enrolled in another device or drug study does not necessarily preclude them from participating in this study. Please check with the PI for inclusion if the subject is on another device or drug study.
