Ages: 22+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• 22 years and older
• Currently receiving preoperative care/assessment for disc herniation surgery.
• No history of any cardiovascular disease other than controlled hypertension.
• Willingness to wear the smartwatch for a minimum of 8 consecutive hours during the night before surgery.
• Ability to follow all instructions related to the smartwatch operation and data collection independently.
• No known allergy to nickel.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients who are currently receiving prescribed medication specifically for sleep in the clinical setting.
• Refusal or unwillingness to participate in the study.
• The participant fails to wear the smartwatch correctly or appropriately as per study instructions, leading to incomplete or unreliable data collection.

Preoperative Disc Herniation Patients

Description:

This group consists of hospitalized adult patients scheduled for intervertebral disc herniation surgery whose preliminary examinations are complete. Measurements will be taken at two different time points: the night before surgery and the morning of the surgery. Patients' vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation) will be determined using standard medical devices, while anxiety and sleep quality will be determined via validated clinical scales. All these values will be collected simultaneously using smartwatches (Samsung).
