About

Guy D. Paiement is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work bridges surgical outcomes, patient mobility, and healthcare efficiency. His primary research areas include postoperative recovery, joint arthroplasty, and the clinical integration of wearable technology. Paiement is best known for his landmark 2019 study, “Association of Wearable Activity Monitors With Assessment of Daily Ambulation and Length of Stay Among Patients Undergoing Major Surgery,” which has garnered over 150 citations. This work demonstrated that objective, real-time ambulation data from wearable devices can predict hospital length of stay more accurately than traditional subjective assessments, offering a transformative tool for perioperative care. His contributions have helped shift surgical recovery from passive observation to data-driven, patient-centered monitoring. Beyond this, Paiement has published extensively on venous thromboembolism prevention and orthopedic outcomes, influencing clinical guidelines worldwide. His research is widely cited for its practical impact on reducing hospital stays and improving patient recovery trajectories. For students and clinicians, Paiement’s work exemplifies how technology and evidence-based surgery can converge to enhance both individual patient care and systemic healthcare delivery.
