Advancements in technology have led to the growth of patient wearables and self-monitoring devices. The use of smart technology in healthcare is rapidly changing the paradigm for chronic disease management in outpatient and acute care settings. This program, led by a panel of experts on the use of these technologies, aims to summarize the evidence for benefits, limitations, and best practices for the use of patient wearables and self-monitoring devices across care settings. Healthcare-related smart devices reviewed during this program may include, but are not limited to, smart inhalers, remote physiologic monitoring, implantable cardiac monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring, and adherence monitoring systems.
