Abstract
Nursing care are changing and evolving every day. Wearable technology has gained the interest of nurses. Wearable technology devices are being developed to help people live healthier lives and to know their bodies better through a complex network of interrelated tools. These devices worn on the body that can capture data such as heart rate, gait abnormalities, heart rhythms, number of calories burned, and even hours slept. Many people already have cell phones, computers, tablets, or other devices that networked together with other devices, allowing caregivers, care providers, and even friends and family to monitor functioning and have historical records on a day-to-day or minuteby-minute basis. The system’s software can use the data from these sensors to build a personalized profile of the user’s physical performance and nervous system activation throughout the entire day—providing a truly personal medical record that can revolutionize healthcare. Wearable technology allows for data capture that is reliable and easy to retrieve and uses objective measures to enhance clinical decisions. Nurses are going to be increasingly responsible for patients who use wearable technologies. Nursing should capitalize on the wearable technology phenomenon by being visionary, vocal, and proactive. Because, wearable technology is part of the future of nursing.
