Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the adoption and regular use of wearable devices among adults with chronic diseases in the U.S.
  • Analyzed wearable device usage patterns among U.S. adults
  • Investigated willingness to share data with healthcare providers
  • Examined implications for surgical care pathways
  • Significant increase in wearable device adoption among adults with chronic conditions
  • Users are regularly engaging with devices and sharing data
  • Highlighting the potential of continuous data integration in surgical practices

Abstract

Wearable device adoption is growing across the U.S. adult population, including among individuals with chronic conditions. Most users engage with devices regularly and are willing to share data with healthcare providers. Rising wearable use among populations at a higher risk for perioperative complications highlights the opportunity to integrate continuous physiologic data into surgical care pathways.
