Abstract
Wearable technologies hold great promise for disease diagnosis and patient care. Despite the flourishing research activities in this field, only a handful of wearable devices are commercialized and cleared for medical usage. The successful translation of current proof‐of‐concept prototypes requires extensive in‐human testing. There is a lag between current standards and operation protocols to guide the responsible and ethical conduct of researchers in such in‐human studies and the rapid development of the field. This essay presents relevant ethical concerns in early‐stage human research from a researcher's perspective.
