Evaluation of a Telemedicine System for Patients Carried for Bariatric Surgery

This study is intended to study the feasibility of a telemedicine system to monitor and control certain vital parameters before and after surgery for obesity. During the preoperative preparation phase, weight, exercise, blood pressure and heart rate are recorded and transmitted to the patient's surgeon. In the immediate post operative period, the heart rate is a sensitive and reliable indicator of the occurrence of a complication. A telemetry system will allow rapid home return, continuous monitoring and early warning in the event of a problem. Prolonged follow-up identical to that started preoperatively should allow improvement and better control of weight loss by monitoring especially physical exercise.
