Using wearables to spot complications early
This study checks whether common wearable devices can predict or detect problems after treatment or surgery. If you join, the researchers will compare what the wearable shows with what happens to you medically, to see if earlier warnings are possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to start treatment soon (surgery or non-surgery), such as major chest/heart, bone/joint, blood vessel, bowel/colon, pancreas, major abdominal surgery, chronic disease treatment, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, or ablation
- You can and are willing to use a wearable device like Fitbit, iWatch, or Biostrap
- You can understand the study and give consent (or have decision-making ability for all study steps)
- You are not pregnant

This study tests whether a wearable device (a smartwatch-like device) worn after lung or chest surgery can help doctors catch complications early by monitoring your heart rate, activity, and other vital signs. The goal is to catch problems sooner so you can get help faster.
This study tests whether a smart device (like a fitness tracker) can help doctors notice early signs of complications before and after surgery. It may help prevent problems and improve recovery.
This study uses a wristwatch-like device to measure your movement and body functions before and after surgery to help predict which older patients might have complications. The goal is to improve safety planning for people 65 and older having surgery.
This study tests if a wearable device can spot early signs of heart failure getting worse. If you already use a heart monitor and have stable readings, you may help show how a non-invasive wearable could alert you sooner.
This trial uses a smartwatch and smart ring to collect health data after elective surgery. The goal is to see if these sensors can help predict who might need to return to the hospital, so doctors can provide better follow-up care.
This study tests if wearing a smart watch or fitness tracker can help doctors monitor your recovery after lung cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for lung cancer, participating may give your care team more information to track your health.
