First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 35 times

Summary

This study tests whether using a wearable sensor that continuously tracks heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels after surgery can catch problems earlier than the usual periodic checks by nurses. About 522 adults having major non-cardiac surgery will be randomly assigned to either have their sensor data visible to the care team or not. The goal is to see if continuous monitoring leads to fewer serious complications.
