Applications and Prospects of Digital Health Technologies in Cardiovascular Nursing: Smart Devices, Remote Monitoring, and Personalized Care

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death among non-communicable diseases worldwide, demands innovative approaches in prevention and nursing care. With the rapid advancement of digital health technologies, cardiovascular nursing is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Core applications include wearable devices for continuous heart rate and rhythm monitoring, implantable devices such as pacemakers and smart stents for real-time physiological assessment, remote monitoring platforms for early warning and intervention in heart failure, and big-data–driven personalized care strategies supported by artificial intelligence. Evidence shows that these technologies can reduce readmission rates, improve treatment adherence, and enable up to 82% of patients to self-manage blood pressure and glucose. This review summarized current applications of digital health technologies in cardiovascular nursing and discussed their future prospects, aiming to provide a theoretical foundation for their further integration into clinical practice.
