Background: Noninvasive wearable devices are increasingly used in healthcare to detect early alterations in patient health status. Staff nurses, as front-line health professionals, must have adequate knowledge to utilize and interpret data from these devices effectively. Objective: To assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding noninvasive wearable devices used for detecting health alterations. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study using a structured questionnaire was conducted among staff nurses in a tertiary care hospital. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the knowledge levels and their associations with sociodemographic variables. Results: The majority of nurses demonstrated moderate knowledge regarding the application, benefits, and limitations of noninvasive wearable devices for health monitoring. Knowledge scores were significantly higher among younger nurses and those with higher educational qualifications. Conclusion: There is a moderate level of awareness among staff nurses regarding noninvasive wearable devices. Regular training and sensitization programs are recommended to bridge knowledge gaps and optimize the use of wearable health technologies in clinical practice.
