Download or read book How Nursing has Changed with Technology An Issue of Nursing written by Maria Overstreet and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2015-06-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has technology changed the art and science of nursing practice?Many facets of nursing practice have stayed constant over the years such as the way we advocate for our patients and the art of caring for our patients. However, nursing practice has evolved over the years especially in the bedside delivery of state of the art nursing care. Technology at the bedside has forced nurse educators to change the ways in which we always have taught nursing students. Technology has also begun to change the methods used in the actual bedside nursing care. In this issue, you will hear from some of the nursing experts in areas of nursing care that has changed in either the delivery of care or method of assessing care of the patient. Nursing experts will describe some of the historical changes and intrigue you in the changes expected to come to the bedside. Why is this issue important? First, we gain insight from a review of where we have been and nurses tend to reminisce on our past as well as romance our historical roots. Second, technology is ever changing and it is good practice to keep abreast of what is happening in other areas of nursing so that we can apply others successes in our own specific areas of nursing. Third, informatics in nursing is a growing field and nursing must embrace technology and learn to adapt various methods of delivery so that we can appropriately care for and advocate for our patients.With the changes in our national healthcare system, we must encourage nurses to try out new methods of delivery as well as encourage their ideas of how nursing can change. The articles in this issue reflect these changes.

It provides the reader with prospects for the future of clinical engineering as well as guidelines and standards for best practice around the world.
Download or read book Bioengineering Nursing written by Hiromi Sanada and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human lifestyle is changing. With the emergence of an ageing society, this brings about a paradigm shift from diagnostic and curative landscape to QOL care and well-being to support individuals and their society. Nursing is expected to be the core of this new scheme. A bidirectional relationship between nursing and other disciplines such as biology science, basic medicine, engineering, and information technology has been limited because of the complexity and the broad characteristics of the nursing domain. Bioengineering in nursing is a promising key solution to this challenging issue. It seeks to incorporate molecular biological methodology into the nursing science area and to deliver the findings to the clinical practice through the development of novel technology products or services created by bioengineering in nursing. In addition, nursing translational research explores clinical problems, and visualises and defines the target point to be resolved. This process allows the development of technology with the properties of non-invasiveness, real time assessment, and intervention with partnership. Throughout the eight chapters, this book offers a viewpoint of the way of collaboration in bioengineering nursing research. The book explains the concept of bioengineering in nursing to those who have already been involved in such research, who seek co-operation with researchers in other disciplines, or who are at the beginning of their research training, such as graduate students or postdoctoral fellows. The basic knowledge of several core research disciplines is explained to help readers from a variety of research backgrounds. The bioengineering nursing loop is illustrated by a model of developmental research with some supportive examples. The authors attempt to encourage the field of this new bioengineering in nursing concept and its educational aspect, and to promote novel nursing innovations.

This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most recent research and applications in Biomedical Engineering, electronic health and TeleMedicine. Top-scholars and research leaders in the field contributed to the book. It covers a broad range of applications including smart platforms like DietHub which connects patients with doctors online. The book highlights the advantages of Telemedicine to improve the healthcare services and how it can contribute to the homogenization of medicine without any geographical barriers. Telemedicine transforms local hospitals, with limited services, into a node of an integrated network. In this manner, these nodes start to play an important role in preventive medicine and in high-level management of chronic diseases. The authors also discuss the challenges related to “health informatics” and in “e-health management”. The topics of the book include: synchronous and asynchronous telemedicine with deep discussions on e-health applications, virtual medical assistance, real-time virtual visits, digital telepathology, home health monitoring, and medication adherence, wearable sensors, tele-monitoring hubs and sensors, Internet of Things, augmented and virtual reality as well as e-learning technologies. The scope of the book is quite unique particularly in terms of the application domains that it targets. It is a unique hub for the dissemination of state of the art research in the telemedicine field and healthcare ecosystems. The book is a reference for graduate students, doctors, and researchers to discover the most recent findings, and hence, it achieves breakthroughs and pushes the boundaries in the related fields.

Download or read book Developing and Utilizing Digital Technology in Healthcare for Assessment and Monitoring written by Andreas Charalambous and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the current trends in nursing and healthcare in relation to the integration of information technological interventions across the care continuum. The use of such interventions in healthcare has increased rapidly in recent years, partly due to the rise in technological gadgets/applications used in daily routines (e.g. actigraphy bracelets, smartphones) and their unique properties that can be utilized in assessing, monitoring and managing a patient’s condition remotely. This book highlights the areas and the ways in which these interventions can facilitate patient assessment and monitoring and complement conventional treatments in the management of disease-induced or treatment-induced side effects. Furthermore, the book describes the development of such interventions and examines how they are designed to promote adherence and acceptance by the user. To this end, the book also discusses the need for personalizing the technological experience according to the user’s preferences and needs. Drawing on the latest studies in these areas, it not only provides suggestions for undertaking research in this context, but also offers insights into how these technologies impact patients’ clinical outcomes. Lastly, it addresses the challenges of utilizing such technologies and future directions. Providing multiple perspectives on the topic, the book appeals to a wide range of readers, including nurses, clinicians, researchers, technology experts and students, making them familiar with a broad selection of technological interventions and their application in clinical practice. Moreover, it highlights the factors that need to be considered in the development (and testing) of future interventions, in particular in nursing, and provides inspiration for future studies.
