Abstract
Introduction: This study examines the efficacy of wrist-worn sensors for the monitoring of heart rate and temperature in perioperative care. The research seeks to evaluate the accuracy and dependability of wearables by comparing their data with that from conventional monitoring devices. The findings may facilitate ongoing, remote patient surveillance, augmenting early identification of issues, enabling patient mobility, and guiding the creation of medical-grade wearable devices for wider healthcare utilization. Aim and Objectives: This study aims to assess the precision and dependability of wrist-worn sensors for tracking heart rate and temperature in perioperative care. Method: This prospective observational study was conducted from October 2013 to October 2014. This study assessed the precision of the Empatica E4 wristband in tracking heart rate and body temperature during postoperative treatment. The wristband data was compared with conventional intraoperative and postoperative monitoring devices. The Clarke Error Grid Analysis evaluated clinical precision, while data processing guaranteed correctness by eliminating implausible findings and enhancing datasets for reliability. Result: The study included 40 patients with a median age of 61 years (IQR: 53.5–71). The cohort consisted of 60% females and 75% Europeans, with a mean BMI of 29.0 (SD: 8.3). Most underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery (75%). The median hospital stay was 4 days (IQR: 3–5). The study evaluated wrist-worn sensors for heart rate and temperature monitoring in perioperative care. The mean heart rate was 3.88 (SD = 3.61), and the mean temperature was 0.23 (SD = 0.43). Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences (P < 0.05) Conclusion: The study has concluded that wrist-worn sensors show promise for perioperative monitoring
