Technisierung der Pflege

The technologies of ‘digital health’ will fundamentally transform the building of relationships in healthcare and the social relationships of ageing people. This volume is devoted to three ethical and legal areas of tension. In the area of tension between personal dignity and digital care, it is a question of balancing individual ideas about a good life with those of digitised technologies. In this way, new information technologies enable both more self-determination and more complete control over everyday life. Analogously, in the area of tension between freedom and security, technology can reinforce one aspect at the expense of the other. Finally, the area of tension between simulation and authenticity revolves around the human consequences of the construction of reality. With contributions by Michael Früh, Alina Gasser, Elisabeth Haslinger-Baumann; Kathrin Janowski, Dominik Kaiser, Reinhard Klaushofer, Claudia Paganini, Johann Platzer, Eveline Prochaska, Karin Reinmüller, Martina Schmidhuber and Willibald Stronegger.
