Ethical Analysis of Emerging Health-Monitoring Technologies in Military Settings
摘要
Whether in the form of a watch, a ring, or even sewn into the fabric of clothing, continuous health monitoring technologies are rapidly advancing and becoming a part of everyday life. These new technologies have proven useful in various health-related capacities, ranging from personalized medicine and research to public health monitoring, contact tracing, and infectious disease prevention (Dignam 2023, Smith 2024). The use of this technology has also become widespread in the training of high-performance athletes for injury prevention, training optimization, and team management (Bourdon et al. 2017). With this increasingly widespread use, it is worth considering how military organizations may integrate health-monitoring technology (Friedl 2018).
