Abstract
BACKGROUND: Electronic sensors measuring biological and behavioral aspects of health and the environment are becoming ubiquitous and, with advances in data science and ehealth technology, provide opportunities for new inquiry and innovative approaches to nursing research. PURPOSE: To conceptualize the use of sensor technology from the perspective of nursing science. METHODS: This review reports the keynote presentation from the Expanding Science of Sensor Technology in Nursing Research Conference presented by the Council for Advancement of Nursing Science in 2019 FINDINGS: Electronic sensors enable collection, recording, and transmission of data in real time in real life settings, remote monitoring, self-monitoring, and communication between health care professionals and patients. A deliberative approach to selecting and applying electronic sensors and analyzing and interpreting the data is needed for successful research. DISCUSSION: Electronic sensors have high potential to advance nursing science.
