| Abstract | Chronic diseases such as COPD, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hypertension require continuous monitoring and long-term management. Wearable health technologies, including smartwatches, fitness trackers, biosensor patches, and continuous glucose monitoring systems, provide real-time health data and support remote patient care. These devices promote early detection of health changes and enhance patient engagement in self-management. In nursing practice, wearable technologies facilitate patient education, remote monitoring, personalized care, and continuity of care through telehealth services. Nurses play a crucial role in interpreting health data and guiding patients in the effective use of these devices. Despite their benefits, challenges such as data privacy concerns, device accuracy, affordability, interoperability, and digital literacy barriers may affect their adoption. Addressing these challenges through appropriate policies, training, and technological advancements is essential. Wearable health technologies have significant potential to improve chronic disease management and transform future nursing care and healthcare delivery. |
