Popis: Abstract Perioperative medicine is undergoing many changes with the introduction of new technologies. Wearable devices are among them. These novel tools are providing an additional possibility for perioperative monitoring. However, in order to ensure that the introduction of wearable device in surgical wards does not lead to additional challenges for healthcare professionals, a careful implementation plan should be drawn up by a multidisciplinary team. In addition, a chain of liability should also be established a priori to facilitate their use and avoid ambiguity in the occurrence of a critical event.
