About

Timothy J. Daskivich is a leading urologic oncologist and health services researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical outcomes, wearable technology, and prostate cancer management. His research has fundamentally reshaped how we measure and improve recovery after major surgery, particularly through the use of wearable activity monitors. In his landmark 2019 study, cited over 150 times, Daskivich demonstrated that objective ambulation data from wearable devices can predict length of stay after major surgery, offering a powerful tool to transform postoperative care. This work has positioned him as a pioneer in the integration of digital health tools into surgical recovery protocols. In prostate cancer, Daskivich has made critical contributions to the management of biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy, providing evidence-based frameworks for salvage radiotherapy. His work bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical clinical decision-making, helping surgeons and patients navigate complex treatment pathways. With a career dedicated to improving surgical outcomes through innovation and rigorous evidence, Daskivich continues to shape the future of urologic oncology and perioperative care.
