There are documented cases where activity tracking or heart rate tracking for example has resulted in tangible consequences. There is a famous case for many years ago when Nike started to have a monitoring apps and one person was found to be "excessively physically active" at a time when he told his partner that he was at work and it was discovered by their partner that they were having relations with someone else. So having shared Data Tracking is something that can reveal things that we don't want revealed.
On the other hand it amazes me that people constantly don't check their social media settings and reveal information about their activity, purchases, location and much more on a regular basis so it's important to do a few things
(1) inform patients of social media risks, and they are multiple
- mental health issues
- FOMO
- body dysmorphism
- disturbed sleep
- misinformation and more
directly to their health and indirectly via data collection
(2) to opt of of data collection wherever possible. This is frequently phrased as 'sending analytic data' to help programmers etc.. TURN IT ALL OFF, and go into the options when setting up apps. Nobody reads the terms and services and sometimes a few clicks will reduce data collection
(3) assess risk versus benefit, like anything else. Does the person really have anything 'critical' that could result from data collection? Insurability issues? work issues ? confidential activities that could be revealed? Is there a benefit to health - are you recommended this for well-defined objectives (as we discussed in the talk where there is noted benefit) or 'general health improvement' and only a vague idea of why it might help? Will it help you adjust the dose of a medication for example - that could be very valuable
