Advancing Nursing Care through Innovative Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Nurses have a significant impact on patient health outcomes and play a critical role in providing quality patient care. Through the use of innovative technologies, nurses enhance the level of care they deliver to patients and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their practice. This Special Issue will explore the power and potential of innovative technologies to strengthen nursing care delivery and improve patient health and wellbeing. It will highlight a variety of innovative technological approaches that advance nursing care and examine their past, current and possible future impacts. We invite original contributions in the form of review articles and viewpoint papers that delve into the various advances in nursing care that are facilitated through innovative technologies. Papers may explore, but are not limited to, the following topics (sample titles):

• Patient-centered engagement through remote monitoring;
• Suicide prevention through technological innovations in mental health;
• Nursing education on new technologies to support change and elevate patient care;
• Predictive analytics to guide nursing care policy;
• Opportunities and challenges of patient-generated health data for nursing care delivery;
• Data mining, natural language processing, and AI using big data to advance nursing;
• Progressive nursing care through smartphones, apps and wearables;
• Nurses’ involvement in deciding which aspects of their practice are supported by technology.
