Monitoring children with Fitbit after injury or surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a Fitbit wristband to continuously monitor children after a traumatic injury or appendix surgery. The goal is to see if this wearable device can help track recovery and detect problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a child (under 18) who has had a traumatic injury or an appendectomy (appendix removal surgery).
- You must be able to wear a Fitbit on your wrist.
- You must not be missing your upper limbs (arms or hands).

This trial uses a Fitbit wearable to see if it can help detect infections early in children recovering from surgery for complicated appendicitis. It aims to improve recovery and catch problems sooner.
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.
This study tests whether a wearable smart device worn before and after surgery can help predict complications. By tracking things like your heart rate and activity, doctors hope to catch problems early and improve recovery.
This trial is testing whether wearable sensors can help doctors monitor patients more closely after major surgery to catch problems early. You might be able to join if you are having a surgery with a cut of 2 inches or longer.
This study tests a home monitoring system for people who have recently had surgery. You use a smartphone or tablet to send health information, like heart rate or blood pressure, to your care team from home. It may help catch problems early without you having to go back to the hospital.
This study tests a wearable patch (like a smart bandage) that tracks your heart health at home. It's for children and teens with heart failure to help doctors monitor them without frequent hospital visits.
