Stump appendicitis is a very rare complication after appendectomy and leading causes of morbidity among children. Stump appendicitis is defined as acute infection of residual appendix. Stump appendicitis is very difficult to diagnose and required a competent surgical tool to quickly evaluate after appendectomy.

That makes the ethical related studies have more attention to apply these devices and technologies in our daily life with more security. In this work, the ethical challenges of smart home systems that use BCI for personal monitoring, such as Neuralink Interfaces, have been reviewed, analysed and discussed regarding the fundamental principles in ‘Statement of Ethical Principles for the Engineering Profession’ of the UK. Firstly, a brief introduction of Neuralink BCI Technology and important applications in daily life were discussed with related ethics issues. Then, proposed solutions and recommendations for every situation have been introduced and discussed as well.
