Would it be possible for you to share the following event via MEDSOCNEWS? All the best from 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: www.digitalethics.ch ********************************************************************** 1.
