Can a smartphone app detect belly surgery wound infections?
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study uses an app with artificial intelligence (computer learning) to watch your surgical wound for signs of infection after belly surgery. If you have a smartphone, you can help test whether the app detects problems faster than usual care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You had surgery on your belly through one larger cut (laparotomy) or several small cuts (laparoscopy), whether planned or as an emergency.
- You have a smartphone with Android operating system that can download a study app.
- You or a close family member can use the study app.
- You can come back to the clinic about a week after surgery for a check-up, or sooner if the app tells you to.
