Continuous Wearable-Sensor Monitoring After Colorectal Surgery: A Systematic Review of Clinical Outcomes and Predictive Analytics.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Early ambulation and timely detection of postoperative complications are cornerstones of colorectal Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programmes, yet the traditional bedside checks performed every 4-8 h may miss clinically relevant deterioration. The consumer wearables boom has spawned a new generation of wrist- or waistband-mounted sensors that stream step count, heart-rate and temperature data continuously, creating an opportunity for data-driven early-warning strategies. No previous systematic review has focused exclusively on colorectal surgery. Methods: Three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Scopus) were searched (inception-1 May 2025) for prospective or retrospective studies that used a consumer-grade or medical-grade wearable to collect ob
