Summary
This article presents a roadmap for using technology in nursing research to improve precision health and self-management. It details a five-step process for developing and testing user-centered technological interventions for better health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Health Technology
- Precision Health Science
Background:
- Nursing and interdisciplinary scientists convened to discuss technology's role in precision health.
- Key themes were synthesized to propose a roadmap for advancing health and well-being technologies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline how nursing research can leverage technology for precision health.
- To provide a roadmap for developing and implementing technology-driven self-management interventions.
Main Methods:
- A five-step iterative process for technology development and testing was proposed.
- Steps include contextual inquiry, value specification, design, operationalization, and summative evaluation.
- User-centered design principles (desirable, feasible, viable) are emphasized.
Main Results:
- A structured, five-step roadmap facilitates the development and testing of technology-based interventions.
- This process supports the creation of user-centered technologies for precision health.
Conclusions:
- Technology is crucial for advancing symptom and self-management science in precision health.
- A standardized, multistep development and testing process is essential for effective technology interventions.

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
