Self-Monitoring Technology

Healthcare consumer self-monitoring via apps and devices has a great impact on nursing informatics role and patient care. Leveraging this trend, nurses can be at the forefront of patient care by introducing more individualized care. However, the absence of FDA certification of many apps may create distrust of the accuracy of the data and their use in creating care plans. Nurses critically evaluating apps accuracy and forming partnership with other health professionals to verify their uses can help resolve this issue.

The proper integration of self-monitored data requires that the patients be guided on selecting the reliable apps and how to interpret the information correctly (Orji et al). Nurses can use evidence-based practice to guide their work and create data-driven care plans that take into consideration patients’ aspirations and requirements. Regardless of the FDA approval, nurses can still use self-monitored data with proper caution, leading to a good practice that minimizes risks.

The potential advantages of these apps would be the improvement of patients’ education, self-confidence, and early identification of health-related problems (Orji et al). Although the development of these technologies is very promising, the risks of accuracy and privacy must be seriously examined. Both patients and healthcare professionals can check the accuracy through research, verification and comparison.

As for the social factors, nurses stand out as the key personnel who influence the positive sharing and comparison behaviors among patients. They can achieve this by advocating for patient involvement and privacy protection through drafting clear regulations on data sharing and consent. Nurses must employ ethical strategies while collecting and using self-monitored data to improve patient care and outcome.
