The study investigates the technical feasibility of using mobile health trackers for monitoring of hospitalized patients. Therefore the measurement accuracy of several vital parameters in postoperative hospitalized patients will be compared to clinical gold standard. Factors that could have an influence on the measurement accuracy of the mobile sensors will be investigated.Furthermore patient compliance in continous use of mobile health trackers and technical feasibility of needed data flow will be analyzed. In addition, patients' activity levels are recorded and correlated with various clinical parameters.

Patients will be fitted with 4 different tracking devices (Garmin Fenix 6 Pro®, Apple Watch 7®, FitBit Sense®, Withings ScanWatch®).
Patients will be fitted with 1 of 3 different tracking devices (Garmin Fenix 6 Pro®, Apple Watch 7®, Withings ScanWatch®). The type of tracking device will be randomized. Additionally an Activity Tracker and one-channel ECG (Movesense®) will be worn by the patients.
