Wearable Device to Predict Surgery Risk in Older Adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You are having planned, non-emergency surgery that is not heart surgery
- Your surgeon has determined you are healthy enough for general anesthesia (knocked out completely)
- You will have a breathing tube placed during surgery
- You can wear a wrist accelerometer (like a fitness tracker) for several days
- You do not have conditions like Parkinson's disease, severe blood vessel disease, or irregular heart rhythms that would interfere with the measurements

This study tests a computer model that uses heart-rhythm measurements to predict whether your blood pressure will drop dangerously after anesthesia begins. If accurate, it could help doctors prepare and protect you during surgery.
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 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 looks at whether a simple blood pressure measurement during surgery can predict which older patients may develop high blood pressure after surgery. If you are 65 or older and having planned surgery with a blood pressure monitor placed in an artery, you may be able to join.
This trial is testing a non-invasive device that predicts low blood pressure during surgery. It aims to help doctors prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure, making surgery safer for patients.
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.
