Australian Catholic University Researcher Publishes New Data on Cardiovascular Nursing (Beyond Validation: Getting Wearable Activity Trackers into Cardiovascular Care - A Discussion Paper).

A researcher from Australian Catholic University has published a discussion paper on the integration of wearable activity trackers into cardiovascular disease care. The paper highlights the lack of systematic, evidence-based implementation approaches for incorporating these trackers into clinical settings. The researcher emphasizes the need for collaboration between clinicians, patients, implementation scientists, researchers, and health and technology partners to bridge this gap and ensure effective translation of wearable activity trackers into cardiovascular care. The paper concludes that stakeholder collaboration and the use of proven implementation science methodologies are crucial in meeting the increasing demand for these trackers from patients and clinicians.
