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> Devon Cassidy, Chigozirim Ekeke Copyright © 2026 Devon Cassidy, Chigozirim Ekeke https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://ojs.luminescience.cn/JDH/article/view/501 Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0800
