Reviewer 1 Report
The manuscript describes the feasibility and acceptability of using commercial WDs in elderly patients undergoing trans catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) will be explored. This research includes data collection, validated questionnaires and statistical analysis, etc. Experimental results show that the use of a WD is accepted in our frail population for an extended period. However the following issues should be addressed before it could be published.

Reviewer 2 Report
This is a well-articulated research article. The authors presented a feasibility study on the use of a wearable device to evaluate the long-term outcomes of surgical interventions such as TAVR and SAVR. I have no major comments.
Minor comments:
Line 28: Half of the patients were willing to continue using the device.
