技术进步意味着自动化的可穿戴相机现在可以在公共卫生背景下调查健康行为。本文试图识别和讨论这种研究的伦理含义，在传统的视觉方法的伦理研究的现有准则。使用自动化可穿戴相机进行研究可能非常具有侵入性，产生前所未有的图像数据，其中一些可能不讨人喜欢或不需要。参与者和他们遇到的第三方可能会感到不舒服，或者他们的隐私受到了负面影响。本文试图通过一个道德框架的发展，根据最佳道德原则正式确定对所有人的保护。尊重自主权，通过适当的知情同意和充分的隐私和保密控制的方法，允许伦理研究，这有可能赋予健康行为研究领域的实质性利益。(Am J Prev Med 2013;44（3）：314-319）（C）2013年美国预防医学杂志
Technologic advances mean automated, wearable cameras are now feasible for investigating health behaviors in a public health context. This paper attempts to identify and discuss the ethical implications of such research, in relation to existing guidelines for ethical research in traditional visual methodologies. Research using automated, wearable cameras can be very intrusive, generating unprecedented levels of image data, some of it potentially unflattering or unwanted. Participants and third parties they encounter may feel uncomfortable or that their privacy has been affected negatively. This paper attempts to formalize the protection of all according to best ethical principles through the development of an ethical framework. Respect for autonomy, through appropriate approaches to informed consent and adequate privacy and confidentiality controls, allows for ethical research, which has the potential to confer substantial benefits on the field of health behavior research.
