Present/Future Directions 

The ongoing studies advancing the theory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing have catapulted theory-based nursing practice to a higher level, this time moved by the demands and constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic. Technology has provided healthcare a new way to counter the threats of contamination furthering the spread of diseases aided by physical contact and issues of societal relationships. Space, place, and the domain of environment in the metaparadigm of nursing
have clearly attained an active phase of discussing influences on human health and well-being. Nursing in an environment dense with technologies is today's challenge and technology has become the essential aspect in attaining human health. Being technologically competent is being caring, and forms, translations, and transformation through technologies and AI are here to stay. Healthcare robots, environmental adaptations, and dependency on technologies transforming human healthcare mandates a redefinition of health and for nursing to remain relevant.
