Algorithmic ethics and healthcare pluralism: Rethinking care between automation and global inequality
Algorithmic systems in healthcare are increasingly recognised not only as technical devices but as infrastructures that embed, enact, and stabilise normative assumptions about care, clinical authority, and social worth. This article offers a comparative analysis of algorithmic governance across the Global North, addressing concerns about over-generalisation and insufficient engagement with Global South perspectives, with a case-study focus on Ben…
A blockchain framework using proof of authority and smart contracts for ethical and secure healthcare asset management
The proposed model in this paper focuses on asset tracking and monitoring in the healthcare industry and it uses blockchain technology. Data security incidents in the healthcare field have created financial and ethical problems over the last few years. During 2024, the money lost from healthcare data breaches often exceeded $4.88 million due to the exposure of private patients and asset information. This shows why it is important to use secure sy…
Précaution ou prévention? Des responsabilités de la politique et de la société pendant la gestion de la pandémie de Covid-19 au Bénin
L'une des stratégies clés retenues pour la lutte contre la COVID-19 au Bénin a consisté en la vaccination progressive des populations. Mais la campagne de vaccination déployée n'a pas emporté l'adhésion des populations cibles au point de faire émerger la problématique de l'acceptabilité vaccinale. Cet article a pour objectif d'appréhender les controverses suscitées à cet effet, partant de l'analyse des données d'entretiens collectées auprès de ce…
Covid-19 preparedness and social dynamics in a Sub-Saharan Africa country, Benin
This project aims to assess and analyse the perception and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Benin. The applied research methodology was interdisciplinary and combined field studies that used ethnographic and social research methods with coding and data analysis, leading to theoretical dilemmas, which were analysed from the viewpoint of bioethical reflection. Furthermore, biomedical engineering approaches were used to assess the preparedness to …
A framework for designing medical devices resilient to low-resource settings
BACKGROUND: To date (April 2021), medical device (MD) design approaches have failed to consider the contexts where MDs can be operationalised. Although most of the global population lives and is treated in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMCIs), over 80% of the MD market share is in high-resource settings, which set de facto standards that cannot be taken for granted in lower resource settings. Using a MD designed for high-resource settings in …
