EC Nursing Research & Informatics Emerging Technologies in Healthcare System Discussion

The first question in this discussion is opinion and experience-based

• Take a moment and think about mobile monitoring of your health data. Vital health information is going to be sent via this computer microchip to distant sites for storage and review. Imagine… how would you feel if your personal data was tracked? What would your concerns be?

  For each of the subsequent questions please meaningfully integrate your readings specifically including the videos addressing nanotechnology as well as the article by Diane Skiba.

• Would you consider nanotechnology as a disruptive technology? Why?
• Who will bear the costs of the technology and will cost be of concern?
• What are the social- psychological implications for being constantly monitored?
• Would there be issues of confidentiality?
• Where does the human/computer interaction divide?
• The potential for numerous sensors in our body is possible – at one point… are we more computer than human?
