Endocrine Data Ethics

Meaning

Endocrine Data Ethics is a specialized field of bioethics focused on the moral principles and governance structures surrounding the collection, analysis, interpretation, and application of hormonal and related physiological data. This discipline addresses unique concerns such as the predictive nature of hormone levels for future health, the sensitivity of reproductive and metabolic data, and the potential for algorithmic bias in personalized endocrine recommendations. It mandates that all data practices prioritize patient autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice in the context of hormonal health.
