Summary

This study tested whether wearable wristbands can help monitor recovery after colorectal cancer surgery. 192 patients wore a device that tracked heart rate, sleep, and steps for about a week after surgery. The goal was to see if early walking reduces complications and shortens hospital stays. The study is complete and aims to find better ways to support recovery.
