2.4. 公众伦理与隐私提示(Public Ethics & Privacy Notes)

中文(Chinese)

公众伦理与隐私提示旨在帮助用户 正确理解元宇宙医学相关技术的边界、风险与责任原则,确保公众在使用虚拟医疗、沉浸式教育与数字健康工具时拥有安全、透明、可信的体验。
该模块聚焦公共伦理、数据隐私、弱势群体保护与沉浸式环境中的心理安全。

(1)技术透明原则(Transparency of Technology)

IAMM 强调所有元宇宙医学应用必须 清晰说明用途、限制和非临床属性

  • 数字人不等同于医生
  • XR 场景不构成正式诊断
  • 模拟训练不能替代真实临床操作
  • 数据收集目的与用途需提前告知

用户应了解哪些属于辅助教育、哪些属于医疗行为。

(2)数据与隐私保护(Data & Privacy Protection)

元宇宙医学可能涉及多模态敏感数据:动作轨迹、音视频、表情、眼动、语音、身体姿态等。
为此,IAMM 要求:

  • 严格遵守国家与地区的数据保护法规(如 GDPR 等)
  • 数据最小化原则(只收集必要信息)
  • 明确的数据存储、使用与删除流程
  • 禁止未经授权的数据共享与商业化使用
  • 对跨境数据进行风险评估

用户有权知情、同意、拒绝和撤回。

(3)心理与沉浸风险提示(Psychological & Immersion Safety)

沉浸式体验可能引发不适,尤其在特定人群中:

  • 眩晕、沉浸疲劳、焦虑
  • 对虚拟场景的过度依赖
  • 现实感减弱(尤其是青少年)

IAMM 建议:

  • 控制使用时长
  • 避免在密闭或危险场所佩戴 XR 设备
  • 监护人陪同未成年人使用

(4)弱势群体保护(Protection of Vulnerable Populations)

包括:儿童、老年人、认知障碍患者、心理疾病患者等。
IAMM 要求:

  • 优先进行风险评估与知情同意
  • 内容分级与年龄适配
  • 避免可能引起心理负担的沉浸式场景
  • 为监护人提供清晰指导说明

(5)责任边界与医学声明(Liability & Medical Disclaimer)

为避免误解:

  • 元宇宙平台提供的是教育与辅助工具,不替代专业医生
  • 平台不提供个性化医疗诊断
  • 教学内容不可直接用于自我诊断或治疗决策
  • 真正医疗建议必须来自有资质的医师

(6)公众反馈与投诉渠道(Public Feedback & Complaints)

IAMM 设有开放渠道:

  • 举报虚假宣传
  • 提供改进建议
  • 报告技术异常、内容不适或隐私问题

The Public Ethics & Privacy Notes help users understand the boundaries, risks and ethical principles related to Metaverse-in-Medicine technologies.
The module promotes transparency, data protection, psychological safety and safeguards for vulnerable populations.

(1) Transparency of Technology

IAMM requires that all metaverse medical applications clearly state:

  • What the technology can and cannot do
  • That digital humans are notlicensed physicians
  • That XR simulations do notconstitute medical diagnosis
  • What data is collected and why

Users should distinguish between educational tools and real medical services.

(2) Data & Privacy Protection

Metaverse environments may involve sensitive multimodal data (movement, voice, biometrics, gaze, video, posture).
IAMM mandates:

  • Compliance with global regulations (e.g., GDPR)
  • Data minimization
  • Clear storage, usage and deletion processes
  • No unauthorized sharing or monetization
  • Risk assessment for cross-border data transfers

Users retain rights to be informed, consent, refuse and withdraw.

(3) Psychological & Immersion Safety

Immersive experiences may cause discomfort:

  • Dizziness, fatigue, anxiety
  • Over-dependence on virtual environments
  • Reduced sense of reality (especially for youth)

IAMM advises:

  • Limiting session duration
  • Avoiding unsafe environments during XR use
  • Guardian supervision for minors

(4) Protection of Vulnerable Populations

Including children, older adults, individuals with cognitive or mental health challenges.
IAMM requires:

  • Risk assessment and informed consent
  • Age-appropriate content
  • Avoidance of psychologically burdensome scenes
  • Clear guidance for caregivers

(5) Liability & Medical Disclaimer

To prevent misunderstanding:

  • Metaverse platforms support learning, not medical care
  • No personalized medical diagnosis is provided
  • Educational content must notguide self-treatment or diagnosis
  • Real medical advice must come from qualified physicians

(6) Public Feedback & Complaints

IAMM provides open channels to report issues:

  • Misleading claims
  • Technical problems
  • Privacy concerns
  • Content appropriateness
