  • Kristin Bergtora Sandvik

摘要

Globally, the health sector continues to undergo rapid digitization. While many ethical issues and challenges related to this digital transformation are common across various professional fields in healthcare and medicine, situations of humanitarian crisis—including armed conflict, natural disasters, and man-made disasters—present specific dilemmas and quandaries with respect to digital tools and infrastructures. This chapter aims to contribute to discussions on humanitarian healthcare ethics by asking: What are the ethical implications of integrating humanitarian healthcare into digital infrastructures? What type of new or additional ethical issues arise with the adoption of new technology, such as artificial intelligence tools? To reflect on these questions, this chapter provides an ethics talk diagnostic. This entails identifying and distinguishing sector-specific discussions from a broader background context.
