Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Patient compliance with wearable and interactive smart technology in the 4 weeks following discharge from hospital after major intracavity surgery. Compliance will be defined as completion of 70% of daily PROM questionnaires, or wearing the wrist-worn trackers for at least 10 hours per day for the study duration | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To explore the relation between unplanned healthcare events and physiological measurements and PROMs in the post-discharge setting for patients undergoing major surgery. 2. To explore the correlation between PROMs (QoR15) and physiological measures (wrist-worn-device tracking) in patients in the post-discharge setting measured daily. (Physiological measures collected will be blood pressure, pulse oximetry, temperature twice a day, as well as continuous monitoring of heart rate and physical activity through the wrist-worn wearable device.) | — |
