It is estimated 1 in 3 clinical trials utilize a wearable device to gather real-time participant data, including sleep habits, telemetry, and physical activity. While wearable technologies (including smart watches, USBs, and implantable devices) have been revolutionary in their ability to provide a higher precision and accuracy to data acquisition external to the research milieu, there is hesitancy among providers and participants alike given security concerns, perception of cyber-related threats, and meaning attributed to privacy issues. The purpose of this research is to define cyber-situational awareness (CSA) as it pertains to clinical trials, evaluate its current measurement, and describe best practices for research investigators and trial participants to enhance protections in the digital age. This paper reviews integrated elements of CSA within the process of informed consent when wearable devices are implemented for trial procedures. Evaluation of CSA as part of informed consent allows the research site to support the participant in knowledge gaps surrounding the technology while also providing feedback to the trial sponsor as to technology improvements to enhance usability and wearability of the device.

Big data is becoming a buzzword in today's corporate language and lay discussions. From individually targeting advertising based on previous consumer behavior or Internet searches to debates by Congress concerning National Security Agency (NSA) access to phone metadata, the era of big data has arrived. Thus, the Guzzo, Fink, King, Tonidandel, and Landis (2015) discussion of the challenges (e.g., confidentiality, informed consent) that big data projects present to industrial and organizational (I-O) psychologists is timely. If the hype associated with these techniques is warranted, then our field has a clear imperative to debate the ethics and best practices surrounding use of these techniques. We believe that Guzzo et al. have done our field a service by starting this discussion.

This chapter describes the procedures commonly followed in suitability and fitness evaluations, with a particular focus on the collection of data from three sources routinely required for these assessments. The authors discuss best practices for providing examinees with the necessary elements of disclosure about the evaluation, including its probable uses and potential negative outcomes, and for obtaining the examinee’s informed consent. The chapter includes detailed guidance for selecting assessment instruments, brief descriptions of the psychological tests most commonly used in suitability and fitness evaluations, and discussion of the emerging use of executive function measures in suitability evaluations.

Chapter 4 considers proposals for advanced and end-of-life care and for helping the general public make decisions about such care. Possible conflicts are identified between the aim of respecting people’s preferences and meeting objective standards of best practices, satisfying family preferences, and meeting requirements of informed consent. The chapter considers in detail questions suggested for conversations about advanced and end of life care. It locates imprecision, nudging, and framing effects in those questions that may interfere with their correctly eliciting people’s preferences. It also suggests that there may be attempts to promote specific values and goals favored by end-of-life care professionals, such as peacefulness and avoiding invasive treatments. The possible connection between the aim of a good life to the end and the use of assisted suicide is also examined.

The acceptance of the GDPR legislation in 2018 started a new technological shift towards achieving transparency. GDPR put focus on the concept of informed consent applicable for data processing, which led to an increase of the responsibilities regarding data sharing for both end users and companies. This paper presents a literature survey of existing solutions that use semantic technology for implementing consent. The main focus is on ontologies, how they are used for consent representation and for consent management in combination with other technologies such as blockchain. We also focus on visualisation solutions aimed at improving individuals’ consent comprehension. Finally, based on the overviewed state of the art we propose best practices for consent implementation.
