Tasks:

Advances in technology have fed the explosion of wearable

devices and patient self-monitoring. How can nurses leverage this technology to

promote healthy lifestyles and improved compliance with self-care and

monitoring?

There are vast quantities of consumer data available today.

For example, every time you use your grocery store loyalty card, data about what

you purchased is collected, analyzed, and saved. This data in the hands of

population health professionals can contribute to the creation of healthy

lifestyle programs. However, the same data in the hands of health insurance

plans could lead to higher insurance costs of denial of insurance. Should there

be regulations on how these consumer data are used? nsg3039 – Technology’s Impact on Population Health
