Summary

This study checks if Samsung smartwatches can accurately measure blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, anxiety, and sleep quality in 60 patients waiting for disc herniation surgery. Researchers compare smartwatch readings to standard medical devices and questionnaires. The goal is to see if wearable tech can reliably track patients before surgery, potentially making monitoring easier and less intrusive.
