NCT ID NCT07148765
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study looks at whether wearing a Fitbit and answering daily smartphone questions can help doctors spot early signs of trouble in patients recovering from bladder removal surgery. Fifty adults scheduled for cystectomy will wear the device before and after surgery. If the Fitbit or survey shows worrying changes, a healthcare provider will check in within 24 hours. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and can predict complications that might lead to readmission.
