Abstract

This study investigated user perceptions and ethical considerations surrounding intelligent products. We employed a mixed methods approach, utilizing semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and surveys to gather both qualitative and quantitative data. Thematic analysis explored user experiences and concerns, while descriptive statistics assessed user awareness, concerns, and comfort levels regarding various ethical issues. While user awareness of ethical considerations (data privacy, human values alignment, duty/virtue ethics) remained moderate across all categories, user comfort levels were generally lower.  However, overall usability remained the highest rated aspect, suggesting a prioritization of functionality despite privacy reservations. The analysis of data usage privacy emerged as a primary concern, followed by anxieties about human values alignment and the potential for intelligent products to clash with user beliefs.  Thematic analysis identified three key areas of user concern regarding data usage: transparency and control, data security, and secondary uses of data. On the philosophical level, limited exposure to diverse viewpoints due to these products can hinder the development of phronesis (practical wisdom) and moral decision-making. Data collection practices might disrupt the Aristotelian Golden Mean, creating a privacy imbalance that could stifle self-exploration and hinder eudaimonia (flourishing life).  Utilitarianism highlights maximizing overall well-being in accidents, raising questions about responsibility: the manufacturer for system safety or the user for misuse.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
