Abstract: Abstract Background: Chronic diseases affect over 60% of adults globally, driving healthcare costs and reducing quality of life. Wearable technology offers promising solutions for continuous monitoring and self-management support, yet nurses - who spend the most direct time with patients - face uncertainty about how to integrate these tools into practice. Objective: To examine current applications of wearable technology in chronic disease management and identify nursing opportunities, challenges, and implementation considerations for clinical practice. Methods: Narrative review of literature from 2018-2026 using PubMed, CINAHL, and IEEE databases. Search focused on wearable devices, chronic disease management, nursing practice, and patient self-care. Grey literature from professional organizations and technology reports supplemented peer-reviewed sources. Results: Wearable devices show significant potential for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory condition management through continuous glucose monitoring, heart rhythm detection, and activity tracking. Nursing roles encompass device education, data interpretation, care plan modification, and troubleshooting. Benefits include improved patient engagement, early symptom detection, and personalized interventions. Key challenges involve data overwhelm, technology gaps among older adults, privacy concerns, and lack of clinical integration standards. Conclusion: Wearable technology represents a paradigm shift toward continuous, patient-centered care that aligns with nursing's holistic approach. Success requires targeted education, workflow integration, and recognition of nurses as essential interpreters of wearable data for meaningful clinical action.
