Use of Wearables in Hospitalized General Medicine Patients

The Fitbit Charge 2 is the electronic wearable chosen for this pilot study. This particular Fitbit is capable of measuring patient heart rate, sleep and physical activity. The data collected will then be analyzed with respect to the outcomes of this study. To determine the accuracy of the Fitbit, data collected will be compared to the nurses' standard patient assessment (for HR and physical activity) and to patient responses on the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (for sleep).
