Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots show promise in home nursing care, improving patient adherence and outcomes. However, challenges in training and technology integration need addressing for wider AI adoption.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Informatics
- Digital Health
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Background:
- Home nursing care faces challenges in monitoring and patient adherence.
- Integrating technology is crucial for advancing healthcare delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate artificial intelligence (AI)-based chatbots in virtual nursing care at home.
- To compare AI chatbots with traditional care regarding therapeutic adherence and clinical outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines.
- Searched PubMed and Cochrane Library for studies published since 2020.
- Included six studies on AI in home nursing consultation.
Main Results:
- AI chatbots enhance monitoring, therapeutic adherence, and healthcare access.
- AI models improved nutritional indicators and reduced risk in chronic kidney disease patients.
- Smart home systems and medication robots improved clinical event detection, nurse decision-making, workload, and safety.
Conclusions:
- AI integration in home nursing shows promising results for patient care.
- Identified benefits include improved monitoring and adherence, but limitations in training and infrastructure exist.
- Further clinical research is needed to validate AI-based nursing chatbots in home care.

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
