A study suggests that each additional 1,000 daily steps after surgery was linked to better outcomes, including 18% fewer complications, 16% lower readmission risk, and 6% shorter hospital stays. Step count was also a stronger predictor of recovery than heart rate variability or self-reported wellness scores. The association between higher step counts and improved outcomes held across different types of surgeries and patient health profiles. The findings indicate that data from wearable devices could help clinicians monitor recovery in real time, guide discharge decisions, and identify patients who may need extra support.
