The nursing information system and wearable technology sensors are two entities that work together in the recording and storage of patient health records. The nursing information system is a part of the healthcare information system that deals with the nursing aspect of the maintenance of records. Wearable technology and sensors are innovations that provide solutions to health care problems. Some of these sensors not only maintain good health but also help in the prevention of diseases through weight loss and physical activities. This technology is therefore efficient in the nursing process and the provision of good health care services.

THE TYPES OF WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY SENSORS
There are six types of wearable technology sensors. Smartwatches are the most common and commonly used wearables. Additionally, they have an electrocardiogram which helps in reading the heart rate. Smart jewelry like the smart ring in which users wear it on the fingers. They help in obtaining health tracking data hence easily update the nursing information system. The fitness trackers help in monitoring of steps taken, calories burned, the heart rate, and other fitness metrics. Smart clothing enables advanced tracking for both medical care and lifestyle improvement. Last but not least, the implantable which makes contact with the user’s body from the inside. These sensors however need an external device to monitor and note the patient health records.

THE ADVANTAGES OF NURSING INFORMATION SYSTEM
The nursing information system has the following advantages. First, it helps improve nursing documentation. This is through the provision of an easy way to record patient health records systematically and uniformly. Second, it helps in overall staff management since it provides an efficient way to handle administrative activities. Third, it helps in efficient decision making this is whereby the passive system organizes and formats data while the active system suggests diagnosis based on criteria. Lastly, it enhances synchronization through the integration of the nursing information system with the wearable technology sensors, therefore, enable fast and easy access to all information.
