Designing and Evaluating Granular Consent for Data Sharing in Cardiac Disease Prevention

Pavithren V S Pakianathan, Rania Islambouli, Magenta Jade Shipsey +2

Dynamic consent can promise end users with greater control, but little is known about how older adults with chronic conditions navigate the tradeoff between control and burden in g…

Towards a Real-Time Warning System for Detecting Inaccuracies in Photoplethysmography-Based Heart Rate Measurements in Wearable Devices

Rania Islmabouli, Marlene Brunner, Devender Kumar +6

Wearable devices with photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors are widely used to monitor heart rate (HR), yet often suffer from accuracy issues. However, users typically do not receive…
