Conditions

Remote Monitoring

Brief summary

This study is designed to determine the perceived value of continuous remote monitoring to surgeons and surgical patients at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and determine whether algorithms can be generated to predict risk of readmission following discharge. This initial study will be conducted through the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery.

Detailed description

The overall aim of this project is to determine the perceived utility and benefit to use of remote monitoring technology in patients being discharged following cardiac surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. The investigators also aim to determine whether machine learning algorithms can predict readmission following cardiac surgery in these patients, which the investigators believe will benefit patients in future studies.

Interventions

DEVICESnap40 Monitor

Non-invasive, wearable armband device used to measure change in systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, body temperature, movement, and oxyhemoglobin saturation and streams this information to a cloud-based storage system. Patients will complete a questionnaire.

OTHERNo Monitor

Patients will be discharged in the ordinary manner, without the Snap40 monitor. Patients will complete a questionnaire.
