The purpose of this study is to assess the function and reliability of a noninvasive, skin-like electronic sensor. The investigators hypothesize that this skin sensor will address an unmet need to wirelessly and noninvasively monitor and characterize the recovery process in post-operative patients who have undergone anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Specifically, the investigators will validate the use of the sensor in this patient population through monitoring of key physiological signals in the recovery process, including heart rate, respiratory rate, swallow count, talking time, energy expenditure, neck specific motion, and body orientation.
