2024: A Year of Nursing Informatics Research in Review

Elizabeth Borycki. JMIR Nurs. .

Abstract

Each year, nursing informatics researchers contribute to nursing and health informatics knowledge. The year 2024 emerged as yet another year of significant advances. In this editorial, I describe and highlight some of the key trends in nursing informatics research as published in JMIR Nursing in 2024. Artificial intelligence (AI), data science, mobile health (mHealth), and the integration of technology into nursing education and practice remain key research themes in the literature. Nursing informatics publications continue to grow in number. A greater number of AI and data science articles are being published, while at the same time, mHealth and technology research continues to be conducted in nursing education and practice contexts.

Keywords: artificial intelligence; data science; education; health informatics; nursing informatics; practice; research; trends.
