Research an development in healthcare technology is moving at lightning speed. From artificial intelligence that monitors vulnerable patients being cared for hospitals' critical care units to people being treated for disease managing their conditions at home, or in rural areas, technology is freeing more people to convalesce, regain strength, and monitor and manage their symptoms, including pain, outside of traditional healthcare settings.

Nurse scientists who do research in this domain create technologies that keep people on the treatment trajectories, and from being "lost to follow-up." They help people more deeply understand diagnoses, and guide their decision-making with digital tools that provide broader perspective about treatments' true costs, risks, and benefits. And they develop tools to help people with chronic neurological conditions and dementia, as well as their caregivers, stay connected, feel supported, and have a higher quality of life.
