“…The validity of this diagnostic is subject to fluctuations, not least because patients do not sleep in their usual environment and the examination is usually only a one-day snapshot [ 72 ]. Wearables with multisensor technology, which enable longitudinal sleep tracking using a wide variety of algorithms, represent a cost-effective alternative [ 73 ]. Wearables demonstrate promise in various apps to be able to assess individual sleep using sound recordings and accelerometry data.…”

“…Wearables demonstrate promise in various apps to be able to assess individual sleep using sound recordings and accelerometry data. In some cases, wearables with integrated actigraphy are also coupled with apps that use accelerometers to record data regarding the sleep–wake rhythm: currently, only few validation studies of tracking apps exist, which still calls into question their reliability [ 73 , 74 , 75 ]. Questions of reliability aside, the impact of sleep for both fracture risk and during recovery is increasingly being recognized, and personal wearable devices can assist in the broad clinical application of sleep research in trauma [ 76 , 77 , 78 ].…”

The use of wearable technology is steadily increasing. In orthopedic trauma surgery, where the musculoskeletal system is directly affected, focus has been directed towards assessing aspects of physical functioning, activity behavior, and mobility/disability. This includes sensors and algorithms to monitor real-world walking speed, daily step counts, ground reaction forces, or range of motion. Several specific reviews have focused on this domain. In other medical fields, wearable sensors and algorithms to monitor digital biometrics have been used with a focus on domain-specific health aspects such as heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen saturation, or fall risk. This review explores the most common clinical and research use cases of wearable sensors in other medical domains and, from it, derives suggestions for the meaningful transfer and application in an orthopedic trauma context.
