Strydx Research helps enrolled participants contribute to a Northwestern spine surgery recovery study. Using wearable data and brief check-ins, Strydx helps researchers better understand movement, sleep, pain, physical function, and recovery patterns after spine surgery. Participants may complete short questionnaires and allow collection of activity and health-related data over time. This app is for research use only and is intended for enrolled study participants. Strydx does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. For medical questions or concerns, participants should contact their clinical care team.
