Rapidly growing medical technology and the availability of cutting-edge monitoring tools have improved patients’ health. Patient sensor devices have resulted in significant advances in healthcare, including disease management. The use of patient sensor devices in medical facilities improves nursing practice. This annotated bibliography examines current peer-reviewed articles exhibiting the impact of patient sensor devices on clinical practices and interprofessional teams. 

Introduction to the Selected Technology Topic

Wearable patient sensor devices are an essential component of contemporary medical care, offering ongoing surveillance and data gathering to improve outcomes. These gadgets can track crucial health indicators like cardiac rate, blood pressure, sugar levels, and oxygen saturation (Anikwe et al., 2022). I chose patient sensors and wearable technology because they are essential for evaluation, ongoing surveillance, and medical practice. It reduces medical costs by mitigating complications. I searched databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and CINAHL.

Keywords used for relevant articles are: “Remote patient monitoring technology,” “Impact of patient sensor devices on medical practices,” and “Sensor devices and patient safety.” To identify the credibility of research resources, the CRAAP (Currency, Relevance, Accuracy, Authority, and Purpose) criteria are applied. According to the CRAAP, the reviews chosen are current and pertinent, with authors with clinical expertise offering valuable information (Muis et al., 2022).

The review found that telemedicine, specifically wearable devices and sensor technology, produced significant advances in illness management when compared to conventional care. The goal of this article is to provide a summary of the economic impact of monitoring devices and wearable sensors for diseases like diabetes. These technologies enable caregivers to collect, document, and assess patients’ medical data and vital signs remotely.  It leads to a significant boost in illness control. Portable gadgets, peripheral devices, and other equipment can be used to conduct remote monitoring simultaneously. They are essential for monitoring disease development or exacerbation by recording vital markers. It is also crucial to adopt preventive care to minimize illness progression and hospital stays.

The introduction of wireless portable devices able to detect health indicators and other variables like mobility and level of sleep allows for more effective patient monitoring in medical facilities, improving patient convenience and outcomes. Wearable insulin injection technologies, like glucose detectors and insulin pumps, aid in better diabetes control. It improves patient outcomes and care quality in comparison to other therapies.
