<p>Wearable technology (such as smart phones, watches, and rings) has become widely adopted, allowing patients to monitor symptoms and vital signs from homes. However, the implementation of these devices in clinical settings remains limited. Here, we presented a case demonstrating the role of wearable technology in the timely detection and management of primary pneumothorax, which required surgical intervention. This case illustrates wearable technology's potential for early detection of surgical complications through continuous physiological monitoring. The discussion includes the current implementation of wearable technology in the healthcare environment, as well as challenges and opportunities for advancement.</p>
