Abstract:
Artificial intelligence （AI） health monitoring devices use AI technology and non-invasive sensors to collect individual data， compare it with big data， and provide real-time monitoring and data analysis of users’ physiological and psychological health， so as to provide personalized health recommendations and health risk warnings. AI health monitoring devices greatly enhance individuals’ self-health management abilities and improve their quality of life through round-the-clock uninterrupted monitoring and tracking. However， they also harbor a series of ethical risks， such as user privacy breaches， the digitization of physical sensations， and potential impacts on human subjectivity. Therefore， under the guidance of the principles of privacy and data protection， inclusiveness and fairness， transparency， and explainability， relevant departments should protect personal privacy with perfect laws and regulations， reduce algorithmic bias， ensure disclosure and transparency to promote user understanding， while adhering to the people-oriented principle approach and conducting responsible research and development of interpretable algorithm models for AI health monitoring devices.
