DESCRIPTION:Rise of the Planet of the Apps: Ethical and Legal Consideration
 s of mhealth Apps in Medical Research\n\nMa'n Zawati (ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥)\n
 	Tuesday March 12\, 12-1pm\n	Montreal Neurological Institute\, deGrandpre Co
 mmunications Centre\n\nAbstract: Wearable and mobile devices that record a
 nd organize personal health information are becoming increasingly ubiquito
 us. Many of us own devices capable of tracking our activities\, counting o
 ur steps\, estimating our caloric intake\, measuring the quality of our sl
 eep\, and even recording our heart rate. And while this kind of informatio
 n promises to empower consumers\, enabling them to better understand their
  health and fitness\, such technologies also raise certain legal and ethic
 al questions about data management and privacy when used in medical resear
 ch. Such data\, while seemingly innocuous\, is often capable of revealing 
 a great deal about a person's underlying health\, their daily habits\, and
  even\, sometimes\, their identity. The prevalence and power of wearables 
 and other mobile devices indicates that accounting for these potential leg
 al and ethical concerns is necessary. In this presentation\, I will outlin
 e some of the legal concerns raised by this emerging technology using the 
 Canadian legal landscape and describe whether it may be harnessed in ways 
 that empower participants and society as a whole.\n
