Abstract
The rapid increase in real-time health information collected from wearable devices has allowed digital biomarkers to emerge as a promising tool to support perioperative care, including surgical prehabilitation, intra-operative guidance, and post-operative monitoring. Important challenges include the accuracy of generated information, data security risks, and slow adoption of new technologies. Active stakeholder engagement and following existing digital biomarker development/implementation frameworks may support using this technology to improve surgical outcomes.
