What Are Some Examples of Smart Devices Used in Nursing?
Several smart devices are increasingly being integrated into nursing practice, including:
1. Wearable Health Monitors: Devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers that monitor heart rate, activity levels, and sleep patterns. 2. Smart Beds: Beds equipped with sensors to monitor patient movement, weight, and positioning, helping to prevent bedsores and falls. 3. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Systems that compile patient data in real-time, accessible via tablets or smartphones. 4. Automated Medication Dispensing Systems: Devices that ensure the correct medication is given at the right time, reducing the risk of medication errors.
