First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study will give 50 women a Fitbit Inspire 3 to wear before and after DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery. Researchers will track steps, heart rate, and sleep, and compare that data with short questionnaires about recovery. The goal is to learn more about how patients recover, which could help improve future recovery programs.

- Active substance
- Fitbit Inspire 3 activity tracker
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better understand recovery patterns and design improved recovery programs for breast reconstruction patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test a new treatment, so it won't directly improve recovery.
