Colorectal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to help patients recover faster after colorectal cancer surgery by using wearable devices to monitor early movement. Patients will wear a lightweight wristband that tracks heart rate, sleep, and daily steps after surgery. The goal is to find out if early walking can reduce the chances of complications, shorten hospital stays, and lower medical costs. Participants will start wearing the device after surgery and continue for about 7 days or until they leave the hospital. During this time, they will also fill out a simple daily observation form. Participation is voluntary, and patients can withdraw at any time without affecting their care. The study hopes to provide new ways to improve recovery and offer better support to patients after colorectal surgery.
