Wearable technology for older adults is becoming increasingly popular. For example, a smart wristband in the nursing home can help document the physical health data of residents, such as blood pressure. Therefore, I wonder, is it ethical to require residents to wear such a wristband for their benefit?

Hello, Dr. Mel Could I ask another query regarding CSO? The CSO program may only be used as a form of discipline, I wonder.
