Association of Wearable Activity Monitors With Post-Operative Activity Level Among Cardiovascular Surgical Patients

Completed

Conditions studied: Cardiovascular

In brief

Early mobility in the post cardiovascular surgical patient can dramatically impact patient outcomes. Utilizing an innovative strategy, like a wearable activity monitor, can potentially provide: accurate data on post-operative mobility level; increased motivation and self-efficacy in the recovering patient; data to potentially drive post-operative mobility goal setting. Use of a wearable activity monitor will reduce time needed to return to pre-operative activity level in the cardiovascular surgical patient.
