Boulder Emotional Wellness from time to time participates in research. No BEW client participates in research without full informed consent. This is BEW’s policy regarding the use of data from experiments involving collection of real-time heart rate and eye tracking data:

The data will be used for research purposes only and will not be shared with any third parties without the explicit consent of the participants.
The data will be kept confidential and will be stored in a secure location.
The participants will be informed of the purpose of the study and their rights as research subjects before they participate.
The participants will have the right to withdraw from the study at any time without penalty.
The data will be destroyed after the study is completed.
In addition to these general statements, the specific use of the data will be described in more detail in the informed consent document that the participants will sign before they participate in the study. The informed consent document will also include information about the risks and benefits of participating in the study.

Associated principal investigators receive approval for research on human subjects through that institution’s IRB (Institutional Review Board). The IRB is a committee that reviews research proposals to ensure that the rights and welfare of human subjects are protected. The IRB will review the informed consent document and the research proposal to make sure that they meet the ethical standards for research involving human subjects.

By following these steps, we can ensure that the data collected for experiments involving real-time heart rate and eye tracking data is used in an ethical and responsible way.
