Ethical Considerations for Wearable Sensors and AI Algorithms

Abstract

Fetal heart rate monitoring is a crucial aspect of prenatal care that has limitations with traditional methods. Recent advancements in wearable sensors and AI algorithms have introduced new approaches that address some of these limitations, including accuracy, comfort, and mobility. However, the use of these technologies raises ethical concerns related to privacy, informed consent, accuracy, and reliability of AI algorithms, potential for misdiagnosis or overdiagnosis, and equity in access to technology and healthcare. While recent studies demonstrate the potential benefits of wearable sensors and AI algorithms for fetal heart rate monitoring, they also highlight the need for continued dialogue and collaboration between healthcare providers, technology developers, and policymakers to ensure the ethical use of these technologies. This chapter will examine the ethical considerations related to the use of wearable sensors and AI algorithms in fetal heart rate monitoring, emphasizing the need for responsible and ethical use of these technologies.
