On-Demand Webinar

Privacy and Confidentiality in the Age of Mobile Apps and Connected Devices


Mobile apps and connected devices are everywhere now, including clinical research. While this can offer benefits to researchers, participants, and staff, it further complicates research participant protection considerations for privacy and confidentiality.

In this webinar, find out what researchers should consider in selecting and using these technologies and how to adequately inform participants of the potential risks.

You’ll also learn about expectations research participants can (or should) reasonably have regarding privacy and confidentiality when mobile apps and connected devices are involved, and what IRBs should consider in reviewing such study protocols.

Learning Objectives:

  • Examine the range of mobile medical apps and connected devices in human research
  • Describe the regulatory and ethical frameworks associated with their use and their application to participant privacy and confidentiality
  • Define the impact of big data, machine learning, and re-identification on risk to participants and how sponsors, researchers, and IRBs can respond to the challenges these technologies present
