Can a smart monitor get you home faster after surgery?
NCT ID NCT06584825
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether using a device to continuously monitor heart rate, oxygen, and blood pressure after surgery — both in the hospital and at home — helps patients spend more days at home in the first month. About 110 adults having major abdominal or vascular surgery will be randomly assigned to enhanced monitoring or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and improves recovery.
