Additional work is needed to maintain mechanisms for protection of personal data, privacy, discrimination, and bias in the data and algorithms from being used against employment and health insurance, and in obtaining informed consent to store and use biological (e.g., omics) or other health related information. Current policies in the U.S. do not address these important issues, and nurses are well positioned to lead in this area. Lastly, funding from federal and nonfederal agencies is critical to drive and sustain advantages that sensor technology has with respect to personalized health promotion and prevention. Research training with support from NIH bootcamps, funding of P20/P30 Center grants, National Science Foundation, and nonfederal funding (Gates Foundation, RWJ) is critical for students and the next generation of nurse scientists to continue to advance the science and change practice to improve health promotion, disease prevention, detection, and management.

N2 - Children, parents, older adults, and caregivers routinely use sensor technology as a source of health information and health monitoring. The purpose of this paper is to describe three exemplars of research that used a human-centered approach to engage participants in the development, design, and usability of interventions that integrate technology to promote health. The exemplars are based on current research studies that integrate sensor technology into pediatric, adult, and older adult populations living with a chronic health condition. Lessons learned and considerations for future studies are discussed. Nurses have successfully implemented interventions that use technology to improve health and detect, prevent, and manage diseases in children, families, individuals and communities. Nurses are key stakeholders to inform clinically relevant health monitoring that can support timely and personalized intervention and recommendations.
