行为科学家正在开发新的方法和框架，利用移动医疗技术优化个人层面的行为改变。无处不在的传感器和移动应用程序使研究人员能够全天候被动地观察人类“在野外”的行为，从而支持在现实环境中提供个性化干预措施。这一切都是可能的，因为这些技术包含了一系列令人难以置信的传感器，允许应用程序不断记录用户的位置，并可以通过气压计、温度计和环境光传感器来背景化当前的环境条件，还可以通过多个集成的高清摄像头和麦克风捕获用户及其周围环境的音频和视频。这些工具改变了行为健康研究的游戏规则，毫无疑问，引入了本文中描述的新的伦理、监管/法律和社会影响。
Behavioral scientists are developing new methods and frameworks that leverage mobile health technologies to optimize individual level behavior change. Pervasive sensors and mobile apps allow researchers to passively observe human behaviors "in the wild" 24/7 which supports delivery of personalized interventions in the real-world environment. This is all possible because these technologies contain an incredible array of sensors that allow applications to constantly record user location and can contextualize current environmental conditions through barometers, thermometers, and ambient light sensors and can also capture audio and video of the user and their surroundings through multiple integrated high-definition cameras and microphones. These tools are a game changer in behavioral health research and, not surprisingly, introduce new ethical, regulatory/legal and social implications described in this article.
