Wearable Biotech: Ethics of Data Collection and Privacy Study Guide
This guide delves into the ethical landscape of wearable biotechnology. It examines the convergence of fashion and technology, the implications of collecting sensitive biological data, and the challenges of ensuring user privacy. Key topics include personally identifiable information (P.I.I.), surveillance risks, data ownership, the concept of privacy as a design affordance, and the critique of 'opt-in' culture. The guide aims to foster a deeper understanding of how these technologies impact our
