1.   Life Style Surveillance

Digitization, technology and applications permit us to monitor our physical activity and health statistics. Employers are increasingly interested in influencing or controlling the non-work activities of their employees.  Describe the potential benefits to be gained from employers' collecting/using employee lifestyle data. For example, do employees exercise regularly? Do they smoke? Document one example of an employer collecting or accessing information about employee non-duty activities. Identify and explain legal and ethical challenges to the practice of monitoring employee off- duty lifestyle activities.
