Wearable Device Tracked Recovery From Autologous Breast Reconstructive Surgery
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer
In brief
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about how patients recover after DIEP flap breast reconstruction. We will use a wrist worn activity tracker (Fitbit Inspire 3) to measure steps, heart rate, and sleep before and after surgery, and we will compare this information with short questionnaires about your recovery. The information we learn may help improve patient counseling and design future recovery programs.
