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.

1st peer post :Like stated in all discussions before this, many of us have agreed that technology is on the rise and will not stop any time soon. With this being said many things are changing for better or worse, especially in healthcare. Many of our devices are being updated or even being transferred to something computerized. Even though there are not many things approved by FDA for technology in the clients home for healthcare there are many trials that have been conducted. By having a self-monitored device it can be very helpful to each person, it can track their activity, resting periods, how many calories you burn, vitals (activity and resting), finally there was also a trial run in the older population to see if a smart watch is more beneficial at providing a data chart assessing gait, fitness, and fall history/prevention. FDA can greatly affect an app, however I do not think it will hinder the reliability or the value. Many things are not FDA approved yet a majority still use that specific product. I feel as though there are many benefits, but there could be a downfall. Some clients could get way too obsessed with tracking themselves that they would make it their whole life. For accuracy I think it would be very spot on and healthcare providers would agree. Many of the providers I specifically work with have either a Fitbit or an apple watch to keep an eye on their health status, but I think it would be the same as the data from a Holter monitor. Something that you wear 24/7 and are able to store the data to compare and contrast later. When clients are provided information it needs to constantly be in there eye sight so they don’t forget, once it is out of sight it is out of mind. If they were to wear something everyday it would become a habit which would ensure accuracy, these devices are also only accessible by the client unless they intend to share, this would ensure privacy.

2nd peer post: While the accessibility is very convenient for people to look up symptoms and figure out what is wrong with them, it is not always trustworthy or the best information. People sometimes do not know or care enough to find the difference between a medical reliable source versus a opinionated non-medical source. Nurses can integrate these apps because of how convenient they are, but they should recommend certain apps that may be FDA approved or medically approved so viewers can be more on the right page of finding information. Sleep quality, calories burned, and body activity apps are used commonly to track health, but can be easily abused because sometimes they are not fully correct and can lead someone to believing they have an issue when it is the app’s success that isn’t 100%. There is no true way to find if this information is accurate in any way or to “fact-check” it because anytime this data is being collected, it could be filled with mistakes and misreads. The issue of self-esteem also comes into play when considering the sharing and comparing progress with others because there is that constant want/need to be better than others. This can be beneficial to track in a challenge with each other (even though you cannot make sure the data collected is 100%) but it can be taken too far and can hurt mental health. I think being able to balance and determine which information is credible and reliable is the first step in initiating the use of these apps.
