How Can Wearable Technology Benefit Patients and Nurses?
Wearable technology, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, can provide real-time data on a patient's health status, including heart rate, activity levels, and sleep patterns. This data can be invaluable for nurses in monitoring chronic conditions, managing post-operative care, and encouraging healthier lifestyles. Additionally, wearables can alert both patients and healthcare providers to potential health issues before they become critical.
