Abstract:
Digital health technologies have a crucial role in streamlining the use of genomics and facilitating access to genomic health care. There are efforts to integrate genomic information into electronic health records and use artificial intelligence to analyze complex genomic data that can lead to actions in health care settings. People are highly interested in genomics, and companies that provide direct-to-consumer genomic testing have put an individual's genomic data into their hands, often bypassing the health care system completely. Nurses should familiarize themselves with genomics and digital health to enable new possibilities in health care that are accessible for all.
