Wearable Device Tracked Recovery From Autologous Breast Reconstructive Surgery

Not Yet RecruitingNA

Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Conditions: Breast Cancer

Interventions: Questionnaires, Questionnaires, Questionnaires

Countries: United States

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about how patients recover after DIEP flap breast reconstruction. We will use a wrist worn activity tracker (Fitbit Inspire 3) to measure steps, heart rate, and sleep before and after surgery, and we will compare this information with short questionnaires about your recovery. The information we learn may help improve patient counseling and design future recovery programs.
