Mayo Clinic has published a study using step recording from a Fitbit activity tracker to monitor recovery in cardiac surgery patients and help hospitals determine the appropriate length of stay. Those who had the shortest hospital stay walked the most on all days in the study, by a statistically significant margin. Likewise, patients bound for home walked more than those headed for a nursing facility.
