Abstract

BACKGROUND: A whole person approach to healthy aging can provide insight into social factors that may be critical. Digital technologies, such as mobile health (mHealth) applications, hold promise to provide novel insights for healthy aging and the ability to collect data between clinical care visits. Machine learning/artificial intelligence methods have the potential to uncover insights into healthy aging. Nurses and nurse informaticians have a unique lens to shape the future use of this technology.
