It appears there will be a positive future relationship between Nurses and health apps that will benefit the healthcare team and patients. These health apps will cause a shift from reactive to proactive care while providing benefits for healthy and chronically ill patients.
 

Living services, technology that learns and evolves to meet the needs of the consumer, is fast approaching as consumer expectations converge with increasingly sophisticated sensor and communication devices.
Nurses may soon see a time when smartphones warn of impending depression or a stomach-activated patient monitoring sensor lets them and the physician know how the patient is taking a prescribed medication.

For leadership to be authentic, programs should focus on both external programming and individual improvement. The most important factor of individual improvement is self-awareness. Authentic leadership on an individual level can be measured by an Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ).
 

In 2013 alone, U.S. organizations spent more than $15 billion on leadership development activities. Although much of these expenses focus on external programming, including face-to-face workshops, webinars, and e-learning, fewer resources target the internal development of leaders. To maximize sustainable leadership development, emphasis must be given to both external programming and individual improvement.
