Smartphone personal health monitoring (SPHM) collects and stores health related data of the user either locally or in a third party storing mechanism. They are also capable of giving feedback to the user of the app in response to conditions that are provided to the app therefore empowering the user to actively make decisions to adjust their lifestyle.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Regardless of the benefits that this new innovative technology offers to its users, there are some ethical concerns to the user of SPHM apps. These ethical concerns are in some way connected to the features of SPHM apps. From a literature survey, this paper attempts to recognize ethical issues with personal health monitoring apps on smartphones, viewed in light of general ethics of ubiquitous computing. The paper argues that there are ethical concerns with the use of SPHM apps regardless of the benefits that the technology offers to users due to SPHM apps' ubiquity leaving them open to known and emerging ethical concerns. The paper then propose a need for further empirical research to validate the claim.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/2874239.2874285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,7]],"date-time":"2016-01-07T14:04:54Z","timestamp":1452175494000},"page":"313-317","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A realisation of ethical concerns with smartphone personal health monitoring apps"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Tilimbe","family":"Jiya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"De Montfort University, Leicester"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,5]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Mobile Health and Fitness Applications and Information Privacy","author":"Ackerman L.","key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","unstructured":"Ackerman , L. 2013.
