Health and fitness apps collect various personal information
including name, email address, age, height, weight, and in some
cases, detailed health information. When using these apps, many
users trustfully log everything from diet to sleep patterns.
However, by sharing such personal information, end-users may make
themselves targets to misuse of this information by unknown third
parties, such as insurance companies. Despite the important role of
informed consent in the creation of health and fitness
applications, the intersection of ethics and information sharing is
understudied and is an often-ignored topic during the creation of
mobile applications. Privacy Concerns Surrounding Personal
Information Sharing on Health and Fitness Mobile Apps is a key
reference source that provides research on the dangers of sharing
personal information on health and wellness apps, as well as how
such information can be used by employers, insurance companies,
advertisers, and other third parties. While highlighting topics
such as data ethics, privacy management, and information sharing,
this publication explores the intersection of ethics and privacy
using various quantitative, qualitative, and critical analytic
approaches. It is ideally designed for policymakers, software
developers, mobile app designers, legal specialists, privacy
analysts, data scientists, researchers, academicians, and
upper-level students.
The presence of women in the practice of medicine extends back to
ancient times; however, up until the last few decades, women have
comprised only a small percentage of medical students. The gradual
acceptance of women in male-dominated specialties has increased,
but a commitment to improving gender equity in the medical
community within leadership positions and in the academic world is
still being discussed. Gender Equity in the Medical Profession:
Emerging Research and Opportunities delivers essential discourse on
strategically handling discrimination within medical school,
training programs, and consultancy positions in order to eradicate
sexism from the workplace. Featuring research on topics such as
gender diversity, leadership roles, and imposter syndrome, this
book is ideally designed for health professionals, doctors, nurses,
hospital staff, hospital directors, board members, activists,
instructors, researchers, academicians, and students seeking
coverage on strategies that tackle gender equity in medical
education.
