Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence used with wearable technology can be an important modality of treatment in the surgical patient management for recovery and reduction of complications such as hypoxia and infection, bleeding, and organ failure. Traditional monitoring systems, based on periodic measurement of vital signs, often cannot detect subtle physiological changes that herald early clinical deterioration. This systematic review discusses how the integration of artificial intelligence with wearable technology can help address some of the limitations in postoperative monitoring.
