Attitudes and preferences of older adults and healthcare professionals regarding a multidisciplinary hybrid telehealth program for healthy aging
Background While aging, there is an increased risk of mobility decline, leading to deconditioning and reduced social participation in older adults. PromoSanté (short for “health promotion” in French) is a hybrid telehealth program currently under development that aims to combine in-person and remote occupational therapy, mental health and physical activity to support healthy aging among individuals with or at risk of deconditioning. Although prom…
Analyses of Acceptability Judgments Made Toward the Use of Nanocarrier-Based Targeted Drug Delivery
The assessment of nanotechnology applications such as nanocarrier-based targeted drug delivery (TDD) has historically been based mostly on toxicological and safety aspects. The use of nanocarriers for TDD, a leading-edge nanomedical application, has received little study from the angle of experts' perceptions and acceptability, which may be reflected in how TDD applications are developed. In recent years, numerous authors have maintained that TDD…
Moral Arguments in the Debate over Nanotechnologies
How are we to understand the fact that the philosophical debate over nanotechnologies has been reduced to a clash of seemingly preprogrammed arguments and counterarguments that paralyzes all rational discussion of the ultimate ethical question of social acceptability in matters of nanotechnological development? With this issue as its starting point, the study reported on here, intended to further comprehension of the issues rather than provide a …
The Social and Ethical Acceptability of NBICs for Purposes of Human Enhancement
The emergence and development of convergent technologies for the purpose of improving human performance, including nanotechnology, biotechnology, information sciences, and cognitive science (NBICs), open up new horizons in the debates and moral arguments that must be engaged by philosophers who hope to take seriously the question of the ethical and social acceptability of these technologies. This article advances an analysis of the factors that c…
