At discharge, patients will receive wristbands with sensors that measure up to 50 metrics, including heart rate activity and variability, oxygen saturation, temperature and even on-demand clinical-grade electrocardiograms (ECGs). The data will be viewed by an outpatient care management team so they can monitor patients\u2019 progress and intervene as necessary.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sltablet.com\/ads\/advent-health-banner\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img width=\"960\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CB_Market-Expansion_Clermont_960\u00d7150_6.25.jpg\" class=\"no-lazy-load wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program will be an incredible asset to our providers since we\u2019ll be able to see patients\u2019 sleep patterns, movement, stress levels and more as they recover at home,\u201d said Stephanie Dietz, MD, medical director, Orlando Health Value-Based Care and Population Health. \u201cThis way, we can ensure we see critical changes in real-time and can arrange next steps for our patients right away, promoting a safe and speedier recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the initiative, Orlando Health is partnering with leading wearable technology and software brands BSecur, WHOOP, and Sensr as part of its Orlando Health Ventures arm.
