Feasibility of low‐cost accelerometers in measuring functional recovery after major oncologic surgery

Abstract

Low‐cost consumer–based activity monitors (CAMs), such as the Fitbit, are popular for fitness and wellness tracking. Functional status is an excellent predictor of postoperative outcomes, yet objective measurements are resource‐intensive. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of using activity monitors during the perioperative period in patients undergoing major oncologic surgery.
