Description

Version: 3.0 start 01 February 2024
 

Short description

 Digitalization in healthcare, health apps, online diagnostics, patient dossiers, big data in clinical research... Medical informatics also touches on ethical aspects. The module "Medical Informatics and Safety" includes a basic introduction to medical ethics. Basic ethical concepts and theories are developed on the basis of applied questions of medical ethics and use cases. The topic of "Safety" delves deeper into one of the core values of ethics, the protection of the well-being of patients and users, by examining the potential hazards posed by medical applications and systems. The necessary steps required to make medical applications safe enough for use are highlighted. We also look at argumentation theory and research ethics.

If individual group members do not participate or are insufficiently committed, the person responsible for the module reserves the right to demand an individual substitute performance from them.
