“…This is consistent with other studies that indicates that individuals are likely and willing to share data from their wearable device with their health care providers. [36,37] This is very important for continuous monitoring of patient with diabetes. Our findings also show that a little less than half of this patient reported daily use of the device for the past month and about 80% reported using these devices at least once in the past month to track or monitor their health.…”

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence, patterns, and sociodemographic predictors of wearable device use among individuals with self-reported diabetes mellitus. Methods: Data for our analysis was drawn from cycle 3 (2019) of the 5th edition of the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 5). Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the demographic characteristics, prevalence, and frequency of wearable device use among individuals with diabetes mellitus. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the sociodemographic predictors of wearable device use. Results: We identified 1149 individuals who self-reported diabetes mellitus. Of these, 51.2% were females, 59.3% were white, and 51.6% had less than a college education. The prevalence of wearable device use was 20%. Further, a sizable proportion (86.1%) of the wearable device users were willing to share information from their wearable devices with their healthcare provider, and almost half of them (43.4%) reported daily use of these devices in the past 1-month. Significant sociodemographic predictors of wearable device use include age, income, and level of education. Conclusion: Our results highlight the feasibility and acceptability of using wearable devices to deliver evidence-based health care to individuals with diabetes. Future interventions should consider the scalability of these tools and how to reach those subgroups of individuals with diabetes mellitus to whom current technologies may be unavailable.

“…Although not all patients track their data, studies suggest that patients would likely share their data with their NP. 7 Wearable data can be one more input incorporated into the plan of care to help NPs improve patient outcomes. NPs should be prepared to interact with this patient data along with other reported data.…”

With digital technology, patients can be more active in their care and better understand how their behaviors can affect their health in real time. Wearables can provide data and automatic analytics that can help nurse practitioners diagnose issues more quickly and intervene sooner to prevent readmissions or negative sequelae. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the state of the wearable technology, discuss advantages and challenges, and consider implications for informatics, patient care, and future research.

“…Considering the use cases of wearables, much of the prior research has focused on facilitating automation, healthcare, and other applications with pragmatic business prospects [23] and a clear return-on-investment [24]. From the research viewpoint, such contexts can often be readily modeled and controlled, since the tasks as well as the contextual factors are often well-understood, whereas handling mass contexts remains challenging to predict due to their behavior.…”

Presently, smart and connected wearable systems, such as on-body sensors and head-mounted displays, as well as other small form factor but powerful personal computers are rapidly pervading all areas of our life. Motivated by the opportunities that next-generation wearable intelligence is expected to provide, the goal of this work is to build a comprehensive understanding around some of the user-centric security and trust aspects of the emerging wearable and close-to-body wireless systems operating in mass events and under heterogeneous conditions. The paper thus intends to bring the attention of the research community to this emerging paradigm and discuss the pressing security and connectivity challenges within a popular consumer context. Our selected target scenario is that of a sports match, where wearable-equipped users may receive their preferred data over various radio access protocols. We also propose an authentication framework that allows for delivery of the desired content securely within the considered ecosystem.
