Resumen
The integration of Virtual Reality in military contexts, which simulates realistic combat and high-risk operational scenarios, provides a controlled environment for developing various skills and psychological resilience. This technology has proven to be a valuable tool for enhancing soldiers' training and preparedness. The creation and use of VR programs, especially those involving the collection of biofeedback data to study military stress, carry significant ethical and deontological responsibilities. This study examines the regulation of using powerful algorithms to analyse biofeedback data to study military stress, emphasizing informed consent, privacy and confidentiality, beneficence and nonmaleficence, transparency in data usage and compliance with legal and regulatory standards.
