Summary

To assess the feasibility of evaluating postoperative home monitoring with Biobeat digital monitoring. The investigators hypothesize that the Biobeat digital home monitoring platform will lead to a decrease in unplanned visits to the ED (Emergency Department). In addition, patients' quality of life is postulated to be improved compared to patients receiving the current standard of care without home monitoring.

Detailed description

This trial will be a single centre, parallel arm, randomized controlled feasibility trial. The investigators will evaluate postoperative home monitoring with the Biobeat digital monitoring and two-way communication through the digital portal for 4 weeks post-operatively to the standard of care (no digital monitoring) in thoracic surgery patients undergoing elective thoracic surgical procedures. The investigators will assess whether conducting a larger randomized trial of digital home monitoring vs. standard of care is feasible in terms of recruitment, data collection and logistics.

Conditions

• Thoracic Surgery
• Home Monitoring

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Digital Group	Once patients are ready for discharge, patients in the digital group will be sent home with the Biobeat digital monitoring kit with written \& oral instructions on how it will be used in maintaining continuity of care which will track ECG (electrocardiogram), HR, NIBP, SPO2, and pain scores. A continuous recording and two-lead ECG patch will be applied and activated at the time of discharge to identify any paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
