Toward Smart Monitoring with Phones, Watches, and Wearable Sensors. Smartphones are increasingly powerful computers that fit in our pocket. Thanks to dedicated applications or "Apps," they can connect with external sensors to record, analyze, display, store, and share multiple physiologic signals and data. In addition, because modern smartphones are equipped with accelerometers, gyroscopes, cameras, and pressure sensors, they can also be used to directly gather physiologic information. Smartphones and connected sensors are creating opportunities to empower patients, individualize perioperative care, follow patients during their surgical journey, and simplify clinicians' life.
