Various types of sensors are commonly used in nursing, including:
- Wearable Sensors: These are attached to the body and monitor vital signs like heart rate, body temperature, and oxygen saturation. - Implantable Sensors: These are placed inside the body and can monitor internal physiological conditions such as glucose levels, intracranial pressure, or cardiac activity. - Environmental Sensors: These monitor the patient's surroundings, such as room temperature and humidity, to ensure a comfortable and safe environment.
