NCT ID NCT07322523
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that smartwatches are a reliable tool for monitoring patients before surgery, potentially improving care without extra equipment.
