This clinical study is a single-center observational feasibility study of the Healthdot device, a wearable health monitoring device applied to bariatric surgery/endoscopy patients for in-hospital and at-home data collection of heart rate, respiration rate, posture, and activity. After surgery, 30 bariatric patients will be applied with the Healthdot device. Patient data will be collected for a total of 10 days to evaluate the feasibility of the use of the Healthdot device at Mayo Clinic and at home. Patient data will only be observed retrospectively, so after the data collection period of 10 days has been concluded, the clinical care will not be affected by this. Feasibility includes the connectivity performance, the usability from a hospital staff perspective with a focus on staff satisfaction and potential interference with hospital workflow, and the usability from a patient perspective with a focus on patient satisfaction and potential interference with normal daily activities. The collected information will be processed to establish the feasibility of a larger interventional clinical trial using Healthdot in bariatric patients.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the use of Healthdot devices on bariatric patients in the USA. Healthdot is a wearable monitoring device that can collect data on heart rate, respiration rate, posture, and activity. This device can be worn at the hospital and at home. The Healthdot will be able to send data and have good connectivity in a place where there is network coverage(4G/5G).
