Digital Technologies and the Good Life. Ethical Challenges of "Digital Health"

Given the current challenges in healthcare, the possibility of improving healthcare through digital networking and new technologies seems like the next logical step in an ongoing process of medical evolution. The term "Digital Health" now encompasses an overwhelming number of approaches that merge various digital solutions with everyday life, health maintenance, and disease management. Within the scope of this project, the focus will be less on specific technologies to be applied in the healthcare sector and more on the common value conflicts underlying their use. The goal is to contribute to raising awareness among both users and manufacturers about how the implementation and use of digital tools can subtly or significantly influence the "good life," a topic extensively discussed in philosophy, and the problems that may arise as a result.
