Abstract

A computing system for measuring and monitoring patient biomarkers for detecting or predicting a post-surgical bariatric complication may be provided. A post-surgical bariatric complication may be predicted or detected by comparing measured/processed patient biomarker data with a corresponding determined threshold value. The comparison of the measured/processed patient biomarker data and the corresponding threshold may be performed in association with a context. The context may be based on at least one of a bariatric surgery recovery timeline, at least one situational attribute, or at least one environmental attribute. A notification message associated with a predicted or detected post-surgical bariatric complication may be sent (e.g., sent in real time) to a patient device or a healthcare provider's device. The notification message may be supplemented by a severity level message.
