Abdi, S., Kitsara, I., Hawley, M. S., & de Witte, L. P. (2021). Emerging
technologies and their potential for generating new assistive technologies.
Assistive Technology, 33, 17–26.
https://doi.org/10.1080/10400435.2021.1945704
This article describes how assistive technologies are used to support people and have the potential to
increase positive health outcomes. Assistive technologies are products and/or services that provide
people with support that have difficulty functioning or are experiencing a decline in their health. The five
key technologies this article discusses are Artificial Intelligence, robotics, human-computer interfaces,
sensors, and advanced connectivity and computing technologies. This article concludes that the study
highlighted assistive technologies are advancing healthcare and the potential market for assistive
technologies will continue to grow which will create new solutions and opportunities.

Technologies With Proven Strategies. JONA: The Journal of Nursing
Administration, 53(11), 601–606. https://doi.org/10.1097/NNA.0000000000001352
This article discusses the nursing workforce and how nursing shortages has a negative impact on
patients, families, and nurses. The article discusses how emerging technologies such as artificial
intelligence can reduce the workload of nurses by handling tasks that are time consuming for nurses
such as documentation. The article concludes that industries, such as banking, have adopted these
technologies to reduce the workload of workers and the healthcare industry has been slow to adopt new
approaches. The article suggests nursing administrators and leaders need to explore and evaluate these
technologies that can improve nurse and patient outcomes.

enhance physical assessment. Nurse Practitioner, 47(8), 14–20.

This article discusses a tool that can be used during physical assessments to assist with diagnostics. The
tool is called Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) and is a cost-effective technology. The article discusses
that the key points of PoCUS are enhanced treatment, improved outcomes, increased time in diagnosing,
and reduces treatment failure rates. The article concludes that the use of this technology will increase
patient satisfaction.
