How are wearable health devices impacting nursing practice?
Wearable health devices, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, have a significant impact on nursing practice. These devices monitor vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels in real-time. Nurses can use this data to track patient health trends, detect early signs of complications, and intervene promptly. Wearables also encourage patients to take an active role in managing their health.
