The ethics of behaviour-based insurance models
Sickness funds have begun to harness digital behavioural data to incentivise physical activity in their members. This ethical and societal effects of this phenomenon remain largely unclear, especially in solidarity-based insurance systems. Therefore, this study analysed the risks and benefits of such programmes with respect to solidarity against the background of recent efforts by German statutory health insurance funds to integrate digital track…
Detecting your depression with your smartphone? – An ethical analysis of epistemic injustice in passive self-tracking apps
Smartphone apps might offer a low-threshold approach to the detection of mental health conditions, such as depression. Based on the gathering of ‘passive data,’ some apps generate a user’s ‘digital phenotype,’ compare it to those of users with clinically confirmed depression and issue a warning if a depressive episode is likely. These apps can, thus, serve as epistemic tools for affected users. From an ethical perspective, it is crucial to consid…
Interdisciplinary perspectives on digital technologies for global mental health
Digital Mental Health Technologies (DMHTs) have the potential to close treatment gaps in settings where mental healthcare is scarce or even inaccessible. For this, DMHTs need to be affordable, evidence-based, justice-oriented, user-friendly, and embedded in a functioning digital infrastructure. This viewpoint discusses areas crucial for future developments of DMHTs. Drawing back on interdisciplinary scholarship, questions of health equity, consum…
Silent Triage
The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced clinical care and health service provision in low-income and middle-income countries. Besides having no timely access to routine vaccination, services for non-SARS-CoV-2-related health conditions faced major restraints due to pandemic countermeasures. Serving as an example, outpatient visits, HIV tests conducted and the administration of the Diphtheria-Tetanus- Pertussis (DTP3) vaccine decreased significantly …
Ethics of sleep tracking
Consumer-targeted sleep tracking applications (STA) that run on mobile devices (e.g., smartphones) promise to be useful tools for the individual user. Assisted by built-in and/or external sensors, these apps can analyze sleep data and generate assessment reports for the user on their sleep duration and quality. However, STA also raise ethical questions, for example, on the autonomy of the sleeping person, or potential effects on third parties. Ne…
'You have to put a lot of trust in me'
Trust and trustworthiness are essential for good healthcare, especially in mental healthcare. New technologies, such as mobile health apps, can affect trust relationships. In mental health, some apps need the trust of their users for therapeutic efficacy and explicitly ask for it, for example, through an avatar. Suppose an artificial character in an app delivers healthcare. In that case, the following questions arise: Whom does the user direct th…
Reasoning for autonomous suicide? A qualitative approach to pre-suicidal decision-making
Interfaces of occupational health management and corporate social responsibility
There is already significant overlap in the focus of OHM and CSR, at the structural, strategic and cultural levels in many German companies. The potential is there, both in theory and practice, for the systematic combination of OHM and CSR. The insights from this study will be useful to ensure that closer integration between both management branches is set up in a socially sustainable and ethical manner
