Surprisingly, there is a paucity of that reviews, classifies, synthesizes state art with respect to self. Objective Our objective was identify terms well-being. Methods We have undertaken systematic literature review promoting After rigorous search, followed by inclusions, exclusions, application article quality assessment protocols, 67 empirical studies qualified for review. Results results demonstrate prior focused 3 stakeholders self, namely end users, patients people illnesses, care professionals caregivers. these stakeholder groups cluster themes reviewed studies. identified 11 themes. There 6 under end-user cluster: user motivation goal setting, usage effects self-tracking, continuance intention long-term usage, management personal data, rejection discontinuance, characteristics. The patient illnesses contains three themes: experience patient-generated advantages disadvantages clinical context. professional caregiver two collaboration among patients, professionals, caregivers, changes roles professionals. Moreover, we classified future suggestions given into 5 directions designs topics. Finally, based our reflections observations from review, suggest four directions: (1) users’ cognitions emotions related processing interpreting information produced tracking devices apps; (2) dark side (eg, its adverse psychosocial consequences); (3) as societal phenomenon; (4) systemic impacts actors involved.

Not Relational Enough? Towards an Eco-Relational Approach in Robot Ethics

Philosophy & Technology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 37(2)

Опубликована: Март 20, 2024

Abstract With robots increasingly integrated into various areas of life, the question relationships with them is gaining prominence. Are friendship and partnership possible? While there already extensive research on robots, this article critically examines whether relationship non-human entities sufficiently explored a deeper level, especially in terms ethical concepts such as autonomy, agency, responsibility. In robot ethics, considerations often presuppose properties consciousness, sentience, intelligence, which are exclusively aligned humans. I will challenge understanding these by anchoring contexts, bodies, actions. This approach allows to consider specific ways being human identify well. My “eco-relational” posits that it crucial relationality animals technology central from beginning. reflects “eco”, entire house we live including robots. To support this, examine two dominant approaches ethics within contemporary Western tradition: “properties approach” modestly relational approaches. develop an eco-relational alternative. Employing phenomenological method, demonstrate through examples our actions inherently connected entities. show play role actions, leading hybrid agency. It becomes clear disrupt traditional concepts.

Опубликована: Сен. 11, 2020

This paper critically explores the research and development of 'digital phenotyping', which broadly refers to idea that digital data can measure predict people's mental health as well their potential risk for ill health. Despite increasing efforts digitally track health, there has been little sociological critical engagement with this field. aims fill gap by introducing phenotyping social sciences. We explore origins phenotyping, concept phenotype its benefit, linking these broader developments within field 'mental sensing'. then discuss technology, offering three critiques. First, may be assumptions normality bias present in use algorithms; second, we critique act a proxy life; third often biological language employed risks reifying problems. Our aim is not discredit scientific work area, but rather call scientists remain reflexive work, more science area.
