Implications of Public Disclosure of Personal Information in a Mobile Alert App for People Living With Dementia Who Go Missing: Qualitative Descriptive Study

No other individuals (ie, care recipients or care partners) were present during the interviews with people living with dementia as these individuals had the ability to consent and respond to questions. Before the interview began, the researcher introduced herself, the overarching study [3] in which the current project was embedded, and the purpose and procedures, and written informed consent was obtained.

Technological Adjuncts to Streamline Patient Recruitment, Informed Consent, and Data Management Processes in Clinical Research: Observational Study

Technological Adjuncts to Streamline Patient Recruitment, Informed Consent, and Data Management Processes in Clinical Research: Observational Study

In this paper, we share our experience using technological adjuncts to streamline participant identification, recruitment, consent, and data management processes for an observational clinical research study. These strategies allowed us to complete our study recruitment goal ahead of schedule and in a cost-effective, resource-optimized way.

Commentary on “Protecting User Privacy and Rights in Academic Data-Sharing Partnerships: Principles From a Pilot Program at Crisis Text Line”

Commentary on “Protecting User Privacy and Rights in Academic Data-Sharing Partnerships: Principles From a Pilot Program at Crisis Text Line”

Here, I focus on two: consent for research, and safeguards against commercial use. I provide facts and invite reconsideration of the paper’s treatment of consent and data safeguards (sharing, use, and commercialization) under the lens of potential bias and exploitation. “Bias is any trend or deviation from the truth in data collection, data analysis, interpretation and publication which can cause false conclusions. Bias can occur either intentionally or unintentionally” [2].

Authors’ Reply: The University Medicine Greifswald’s Trusted Third Party Dispatcher: State-of-the-Art Perspective Into Comprehensive Architectures and Complex Research Workflows

For this reason, we built our platform around the core components Enterprise Identifier Cross-Referencing (E-PIX), Generic Pseudonym Administration Service (g PAS), and Generic Informed Consent Service (g ICS), and we are grateful that these components are available as open versions. Consequently, we only covered the functionalities supported by these core components in the Requirements section.

Data Ownership in the AI-Powered Integrative Health Care Landscape

Data Ownership in the AI-Powered Integrative Health Care Landscape

Furthermore, there are several other challenges: Ambiguity around consent and control: Individuals interacting with IHC and AI systems may struggle to understand how their data are collected, used, and shared. Consent mechanisms might be opaque, leaving users unsure if they retain any control over their information [50].

Ethics of the Use of Social Media as Training Data for AI Models Used for Digital Phenotyping

Ethics of the Use of Social Media as Training Data for AI Models Used for Digital Phenotyping

In particular, we discuss the topic of consent, which we argue spans at least two parts of the AI development process: (1) consent to build the AI model, which can be determined through participatory design sessions with the community that the AI model is meant to serve; and (2) consent to use an individual’s data within the training process of the model, which can be obtained through explicit consent procedures.
