Digital Health: Mobile Devices, Wearables, Telehealth, Telemedicine

Preparing for her run, Susan tightened her fitness watch on her wrist. After experiencing and having received treatment for a heart arrhythmia, Susan was encouraged to wear the watch that not only would alert her if she experienced an irregular heartbeat, but the device would also report the findings to her medical team. Susan felt comfortable going on her run, knowing her device would monitor her heart.

Digital health has changed how patients monitor their health. These advancements have allowed patients to take an active role with increased control and agency over their healthcare and well-being. Digital health has also allowed patients to communicate with healthcare providers in different ways that help to facilitate ongoing, continuous, and real-time conversations that lead to data-informed treatment approaches and healthcare plans. Thus, these advancements have shifted and changed how healthcare is offered and practiced both for the patient and healthcare provider.

For this Discussion, you will explore the use of digital health in healthcare organizations and nursing practice. Reflect on the use, implementation, and the barriers for digital health and consider how these devices have changed, or will continue to change, healthcare organizations and nursing practice.
