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?

Despite its function, informed consent is necessary before applying the wearable wristband to older clients.
