After your thyroid is surgically removed, you need to take levothyroxine for the rest of your life to replace the hormones your thyroid made. This study is testing whether a smart wristband—like a fitness tracker—can help doctors figure out if your levothyroxine dose is correct by measuring your heart rate and rhythm at night. Usually, doctors wait 4 to 6 weeks and do blood tests to check if the dose is right, but during that waiting time, some patients feel uncomfortable symptoms if the dose is too high or too low.
Thyroid hormone affects your heart, and wearable devices can now continuously track heart changes without blood tests. This trial is exploring whether early heart rate patterns detected by a smart wristband could alert your doctor to dose problems before your routine blood work—so you might feel better sooner.

You will wear a Xiaomi Smart Band 10 (a fitness-tracker-like wristband) during the weeks after your thyroid surgery, and it will continuously record your nighttime heart rate and heart rhythm. You will continue all your normal postoperative care, including your routine one-month follow-up appointment where your doctor will order standard blood tests to check your thyroid hormone levels. The study team will compare the heart rate data from your wristband with your blood test results to see if the wristband can predict whether your levothyroxine dose needs adjustment.
