Abstract
BACKGROUND: Wearable health technologies, such as smartwatches, biosensor patches, and fitness trackers, have evolved from basic monitoring tools to advanced medical-grade devices capable of continuous health tracking. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) enhances their utility by enabling real-time data analysis, early diagnosis, and personalised disease management. Adoption accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, reinforcing their role in remote care. However, concerns regarding data privacy, accuracy, cost, and reduced human interaction persist. This study explores nurses' perceptions, awareness, and trust in AI-enabled wearable devices, identifies facilitators and barriers to adoption, and assesses demographic influences on attitudes.
