This study evaluates patient satisfaction levels and readmission rates with the use of such devices over one year, employing a mixed-methods approach involving surveys and clinical data analysis. $\beta = 2.5 \pm 1.0$ (95% CI: [0.8, 4.2])$, indicating a significant positive correlation between patient satisfaction scores and reduced readmission rates. This study contributes to the literature by introducing a novel statistical model to assess the impact of wearable technology on post-operative recovery outcomes. In summary, this intervention study demonstrates that the use of wearable tech in monitoring post-operative patients' recovery outcomes can enhance patient satisfaction and reduce readmissions, offering new insights for improving healthcare practices in Libyan hospitals.
