Abstract


The segment of wearable technology allows medical practitioners and nurses to be incredibly responsible for the patients who are interested in it. A lot of research analyses in this segment have been done which makes it essential for nurses to be significantly engaged in the promising technological advancement in the process of enhancing the lives of patients. In this paper, a synthesis of the present condition of wearable technology has been done. A brief evaluation of nursing satisfaction with medical technology has also been done based on the present research on wearable technology and its implications for the future state of nursing. It is therefore founded that other segments in the healthcare sector have applied wearable technology to enhance gait in patients suffering Parkinson’s illnesses which provides automated defibrillation in the cardiac patients. This has also enabled medical practitioners to effectively monitor post-stroke rehabilitation. The medical practitioners are also considered a front line for patenting and designing novel ideas to enhance the lives of patients. As such, nurses typically adopt the novel technologies such as electronic clinical administration records, electronic medical records and the simulation status in the sector of education. Wearable technological advancements consider the upcoming trend since its potential application is considered endless. Including the patients in their individual care is considered a potential obligation of nursing. In that case, more research evaluation is required to link-up patients with caregivers that benefit from the wearable technological advancements.
