Technology in Healthcare

Rapidly growing medical technology and the availability of cutting-edge monitoring tools have improved patients’ health. Patient sensor devices have resulted in major advances in healthcare, including disease management. The use of patient sensor devices in medical facilities improve 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 monitor vital signs, like blood pressure, pulse, 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 cost by mitigating complications. I searched several databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and CINAHL.

Keywords used for relevant articles are: “Remote patient monitoring technology,” “Impact of patient monitoring devices on medical practices,” and “Patient 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).

Mattison, G., Canfell, O., Forrester, D., Dobbins, C., Smith, D., Töyräs, J., & Sullivan, C. (2022). The influence of wearables on health care outcomes in chronic disease: Systematic review. Journal of Medical Internet Research, 24(7), e36690. https://doi.org/10.2196%2F36690

This systematic review highlights the positive impacts of wearables in terms of self-management and improving medical outcomes. Integrating technology, such as patient wearable devices, improves patient involvement and encourages self-regulation in managing chronic illnesses. It also provides patients with ownership of their medical care, such as active participation in treatment decisions and lifestyle adjustments. Wearable gadgets and smartphone apps can offer patients with feedback on vital signs, perhaps increasing their realization of their health. The findings revealed that using technology improves patient outcomes by 50%. Wearable devices contribute to patient safety by enhancing the accuracy of diagnostics and providing tailored care approaches, reducing complications.

Wearable gadgets help to patient safety by boosting patient empowerment and diagnostic accuracy and offering individualized treatment suggestions, reducing the risk of errors.  This article is pertinent to nursing practices as it helps nurses expand their knowledge, develop their strategies, and provide exceptional care to patients through remote monitoring tools. Lastly, this review is critical for medical providers since it explains the diverse influence of wearable devices on patient self-management and healthcare, demonstrating its potential to transform the patient care process and addressing important factors for its adoption.

Kooij, L., Peters, G. M., Doggen, C. J., & van Harten, W. H. (2022). Remote continuous monitoring with wireless wearable sensors in clinical practice, nurses perspectives on factors affecting implementation: A qualitative study. BioMed Central Nursing, 21(1), 53. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12912-022-00832-2

The authors underscore the significance of wireless, wearable sensors in clinical practice and at-home settings. This review paper examines the factors affecting the integration of continuous monitoring through wireless wearable devices and nurses’ experiences with the technology. Wireless, wearable sensors are telemedicine devices that significantly reduce assistance and care delivery times and enhance patient outcomes. It also lowers hospital stays and associated clinical costs. These devices remotely track a patient’s vital signs, such as blood pressure, pulse, and breathing rate, and conduct behavioral checks like drug adherence. It also helps to increase patient safety, mobility, and m
