As the nurse was taking my personal information pre-colonoscopy, her smart watch began participating in the interview. I was shocked. It was as if a third party eavesdropper was listening in on our conversation. The nurse didn't seem to understand the gravity of this event; brushing it off with, "oh , my stupid watch." As forcefully as I could I demanded she turn off the eavesdropping function. I don't have a smart watch, so I am unclear if they can ever be fully off. But that experience left me feeling violated and mistrustful that my personal data are safe at Advocate Illinois Masonic. I strongly urge a top to bottom review of the use of smart watches within the hospital setting.
