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.

Multifunctional Nanocomposites for Targeted Drug Delivery in Cancer
Therapy explores the design, synthesis, and application of
different multifunctional nanocomposites drug delivery system for
cancer treatment. It encompasses initial chapters discussing
introductory information about cancer, followed by chapters
focusing on the detailed information about various novel drug
delivery systems for treatment of several organ site cancers such
as prostate, skin, breast, lung, liver, pancreas, stomach, colon,
blood, mouth and throat. It is a valuable resource for cancer
researchers, oncologists, graduate students, and members of
biomedical research who need to understand more about novel
nanotechnologies applied to cancer treatment.
There is a significant deficiency among contemporary medicine
practices reflected by experts making medical decisions for a large
proportion of the population for which no or minimal data exists.
Fortunately, our capacity to procure and apply such information is
rapidly rising. As medicine becomes more individualized, the
implementation of health IT and data interoperability become
essential components to delivering quality healthcare. Quality
Assurance in the Era of Individualized Medicine is a collection of
innovative research on the methods and utilization of digital
readouts to fashion an individualized therapy instead of a
mass-population-directed strategy. While highlighting topics
including assistive technologies, patient management, and clinical
practices, this book is ideally designed for health professionals,
doctors, nurses, hospital management, medical administrators, IT
specialists, data scientists, researchers, academicians, and
students.
