Predicting hospital readmission after surgery using smart devices
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 uses a smartwatch to track your recovery and help prevent future heart problems after you finish a cardiac rehab program. Researchers will see if the watch helps catch early warning signs and reduce the chance of a relapse.
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.
