Abstract

Wearable device adoption is growing across the U.S. adult population, including among individuals with chronic conditions. Most users engage with devices regularly and are willing to share data with healthcare providers. Rising wearable use among populations at a higher risk for perioperative complications highlights the opportunity to integrate continuous physiologic data into surgical care pathways.
