Smart wristbands may spot Post-Surgery infections early

This study looked at whether wearable wristbands that track inflammation markers (like white blood cell counts and C-reactive protein) can help catch infections early after surgery. Researchers reviewed data from 1,284 patients who had eye, bone, or general surgery. They also checked if adding artificial intelligence (AI) to these wristbands improves infection detection. The goal is to see if this technology could replace or supplement standard lab tests.
