The increasing use of digital technology in healthcare raises numerous ethical questions, both in patient care pathways and in professional training. This conference will explore multiple levels of inquiry, distinguishing the following key areas:
Understanding the ethical challenges of digital health: The conference brings together experts from various fields (medicine, law, ethics, philosophy, education sciences, computer science, etc.) to examine the ethical challenges related to digital health. These challenges include issues such as the confidentiality of health data, new paradigms in patient care, the redefinition of caregiver-patient relationships, the rise of artificial intelligence, equitable access to digital healthcare, and the training of healthcare professionals in digital health (November 2022 decree).
Encouraging dialogue among stakeholders: The conference provides a platform for discussion and collaboration among various stakeholders involved in digital health, including patients, healthcare professionals, researchers, developers, industry representatives, and public authorities. The goal is to share different perspectives and foster mutual understanding of the key issues.
Identifying solutions and formulating recommendations: The conference aims to collectively reflect on possible solutions to address ethical challenges in digital health. It may lead to the formulation of recommendations for relevant stakeholders to ensure the ethical development and use of digital health technologies.
