Why Digital Tools Have Not Yet Revolutionized Adolescent Health Research and What We Can Do

The promise of digital tools and devices for spurring new discoveries in adolescence research is enticing. Notably, this special section draws attention to many of the advantages that mobile and wearable devices offer for ambulatory assessment research, which have now been realized. Despite such progress, digital tools have not yet delivered on their predicted revolution of adolescent health research. I offer four reasons for why digital devices have fallen short of this predicted promise. For each barrier, I suggest parallel strategies for ensuring adolescent research benefits from Ambulatory Assessment advances. To avoid being left behind, adolescence scholarship must develop in time with innovations in digital devices and platforms, which are moving forward to support basic science and interventions in mental health

GDPR and the Concept of Risk:

Part 3: Selected PapersInternational audienceThe prominent position of risk in the GDPR has raised questions as to the meaning this concept should be given in the field of data protection. This article acknowledges the value of extracting information from the GDPR and using this information as means of interpretation of risk. The ‘role’ that risk holds in the GDPR as well as the ‘scope’ given to the concept, are both examined and provide the reader with valuable insight as to the legislature’s intentions with regard to the concept of risk. The article also underlines the importance of taking into account new technologies used in personal data processing operations. Technologies such as IoT, AI, algorithms, present characteristics (e.g. complexity, autonomy in behavior, processing and generation of vast amounts of personal data) that influence our understanding of risk in data protection in various ways
