The existence of potential incomplete truthful reporting emerges when dealing with topics of great sensitivity. This paper introduces a novel, efficient randomized response model to address the challenges of untruthful reporting. It is meant to improve the accuracy of estimating highly sensitive attributes. The suggested model represents a modified version of Aboalkhair's model (2024) that was found to be an efficient substitute for the models developed by Warner and Mangat & Singh. This study examines the circumstances under which the suggested model outperforms alternative models in terms of efficiency. Theoretical and numerical comparisons of efficiency with alternative models, assuming incomplete truthful reporting, revealed the superior performance of the suggested model. Furthermore, a measure of privacy protection is computed.

Background: Health-related data from technological devices are increasingly obtained through smartphone apps and wearable devices. These data could enable physicians and other care providers to monitor patients outside the clinic or assist individuals in improving lifestyle factors. However, the use of health technology data might be hampered by the reluctance of patients to share personal health technology data because of the privacy sensitivity of this information.

Opportunities for additional, targeted career development activities are imperative in developing and retaining women+ faculty.
