Continuous vital sign monitoring with Biobeat® wearable devices for post-ambulatory surgery patients: a pilot feasibility study
Authors' conclusion
Continuous vital signs monitoring is feasible for high-risk outpatient surgery patients; however, significant improvements are required in device reliability and data accessibility.
