Mobile devices and wearable technology for measuring patient outcomes after surgery: a systematic review
Abstract Complications following surgery are common and frequently occur the following discharge. Mobile and wearable digital health interventions (DHI) provide an opportunity to monitor and support patients during their postoperative recovery. Lack of high-quality evidence is often cited as a barri...
