Smartwatch study before disc surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a smartwatch can accurately measure your heart rate and anxiety levels the night before disc surgery. You'll wear the watch for 8 hours to see if it's a good alternative to hospital monitors.
