Week 2 Assignment

Wearables

Wearables such as Apple Watch, Fitbits, Garmin, etc. collect data such as how many steps a person takes in a day, the average heart rate, ECGs, and sleeping habits to help a consumer become proactive in their health.  However, consumers do not realize how much data is being collected, let alone how the data is stored. Moreover, consumers tend to think they own the data. 

For this week’s assignment, analyze the user agreement and privacy policy from one of the major wearable producers to determine who owns the data.  In addition, analyze the user agreement and privacy policy to learn if these devices are HIPAA compliant. Finally, using the data gathered through research, synthesize your understanding of who owns the data if an organization distributes wearables to their employees. 

Submit a four to six-page paper using APA standards.  This paper will not only be graded on content; it will also be graded on mechanics such as grammar and spelling.
