Switzerland, Tobias:
Digital Health Symposium: Exploring Ethics and Policy
The Health Ethics and Policy Lab of the University of Zurich, with the
support of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS), and the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ), cordially invites you to
explore some of the most controversial issues in digital health, taking
place on 1 December 2016 in Zurich, Switzerland.
Digital technologies, like smartphones and other portable devices,
enable scientists and clinicians to capture reams of data about
individuals throughout the course of their daily lives. Next generation
genome sequencing are meant to become routine, as novel sensing
technologies can capture unprecedented amounts of phenotypic information
about each of us. Data, in other words, are bound to shake up the very
meaning of medicine, ushering in the era of digital health. These
developments, however, raise ethical concerns with serious implications
for health policy. The aim of this workshop is to discuss four such
particular areas of concern without stopping short of exploring what can
be done to address them in policy practice.
Participation is free. However, please register, as limited seats are
available:
