The Apple Health Kit and the many other wearable device
technology is creating data in a bountiful way. What the Health
Kit does is collect the relevant data and process it specifically
for the person wearing the device. The device monitors things
such as blood pressure, heart rate, calories burned in a day etc.
and that data can be directly sent to your doctor as well. The
wearable market is impacting healthcare in that it is making it
more accessible, and your data is becoming more personable. If
something is on you every day it will learn your habits, your
sleep patterns, your calories burned each day and be able to tell
you where improvements could be made and commend a healthy
change. According to the International Journal of Recent
Research Aspects the number of connected medical devices is

decade (Chawala, 2020). With an increased number of
connected devices, it also increases the likelihood of someone

security as most attackers can do the same damage anonymously
and behind a computer screen. The problem with wearable

Despite the tracking and privacy networks they have installed, it
is easily overcome or stolen off a wrist.

3. The ethical concerns in the lack of diversity in data entry is
interesting. It is hard to be able to identify the research subjects
or whom you received the data from, however it is important to
identify the diversity of a research group to have accurate
results for the general population. This is where privacy versus
confidentiality becomes an issue. Privacy versus confidentiality
is defined as a person’s information such as name, insurance,
and other confidential information being released through the
informed release, which can cause harm such as discrimination
and social stigma (Hebda, 2019). I personally think there should
be a diverse representation in data entry as every population
offers something different that the general population could
benefit from. Adding diversity also helps gain information at
predisposition a population could face and how it can be treated
or avoided early on.

MIT engineers develop stickers that can see inside the body.
MIT engineers designed an adhesive patch that produces
ultrasound images of the body. A stick-on patch that can do an
internal ultrasound scan of a person while they go about their
everyday lives has been heralded as a breakthrough in medical
imaging. The postage stamp-sized wearable patch can take
images of blood arteries, the digestive system, and internal
organs for up to 48 hours, providing doctors with a more
comprehensive view of a patient's health than standard scans. In
laboratory experiments, researchers utilized the patches to
observe how people's hearts changed during exercise, how their
stomachs changed as they drank and passed liquids, and how
their muscles suffered microdamage during weightlifting. The
patches might "revolutionize" medical imaging, according to
Prof. Xuanhe Zhao of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, who oversaw the study team. This is because
current scans are typically done in hospitals and are often very
quick, lasting only a few seconds. The bioadhesive ultrasound
(or Baus) patch has a variety of small sensors (piezoelectric
transducers) that project ultrasonic waves through the skin and
into the body. The same components in the patch are used to
pick up these waves when they reflect off tissues, blood vessels,
and internal organs. Wearable and accessible ultrasound sensors
would create numerous future possibilities without the need for
a sonographer, including at-home lung imaging for early
pneumonia identification and heart imaging during exercise
stress
Cybersecurity of Wearable Devices in Healthcare

6. One of the most individualized devices is wearable
mobile devices. The market for mobile, wearable medical
devices is expanding quickly. The biggest problem at hand right
now is data privacy. The privacy concern is increasingly
preventing people from utilizing wearable mobile medical touch
technology on a large scale. This is due to growing consumer
awareness about data privacy. The knowledge that these gadgets
might endanger data confidentiality will eventually become a
barrier to the market’s growth for these products. Wearable
mobile medical devices raise privacy concerns that several
parties must consider and regulate carefully. Despite the evident
benefits that wearable mobile devices offer their users, privacy
protection should not be sacrificed. Users must be sure that
their data will be securely stored and won't be transmitted or
revealed. Wearable mobile medical device manufacturers must
take all reasonable precautions to protect users' privacy. To
reduce the dangers of privacy violations within the context of
regulatory compliance, the legislature must hasten developing
legislation to control the use of wearable mobile medical
devices for both personal and corporate objectives.
Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Research.
Biomedical research benefits from a thorough and
organized gathering of race and ethnic data in several ways.
Ethnicity is a product of self-identification and may not
necessarily meet the current mainstream research categories.
Additionally, self-identified ethnic groups do not always
correspond to official ethnic groups. For instance, a study
comparing self-reported data from 13,538 patients with
population-based cancer registry data from the Surveillance,
Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database found that
although the data agreed on race, there was only moderate
agreement on Hispanic ethnicity and poor agreement on
immigrant status. Researching health outcomes and health status
according to race and ethnicity highlights disparities in

7. healthcare and identifies obstacles to accessing proper
treatment. Understanding group-associated hazards (such as
environmental risk factors) for certain diseases and developing
tailored therapies to lower them are also crucial. A more
accurate racial and ethnic classification encourages the
inclusion of historically underrepresented groups in research
and draws attention to understudied communities. Research may
be made more inclusive and applicable to our various
communities by examining the significant impact that race and
ethnicity play in how people experience their daily lives. This
will help us better understand the particular health concerns that
different groups face. It also aids in determining where money
and other resources should be spent.
