About

Accurate and timely preoperative identification of high-risk patients provides opportunities to better inform and manage them. Current predictors for perioperative complications are either resource consuming or have low accuracy. The primary objective of the study is to assess if Wearable Devices may be an alternative to assess cardiopulmonary function, with low risks and lower costs.
