How are wearable health devices utilized in nursing?
Wearable health devices, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, enable continuous monitoring of a patient's vital signs, physical activity, and overall health. Nurses can leverage data from these devices to track patient progress, identify early warning signs of potential health issues, and tailor interventions accordingly. For example, a nurse can monitor a patient's heart rate and detect irregularities that may indicate a need for further medical evaluation.
