Ethical Challenges of Digital Phenotyping

As part of the Ethics@Lunch series, Orsolya Friedrich from the Fernuniversität Hagen (Distance-Learning University in Hagen) will give a lecture on the ethical challenges of digital phenotyping.

Digital phenotyping represents a new, powerful approach in modern medicine. The basic idea is to use digital traces from everyday life (e.g. smartphone usage data) to check and use their predictive power for a wide variety of possible applications. This should help to
detect diseases earlier and to treat them better in the future.

This is an event of the Professorship for Ethics of Medicine at the University of Augsburg.
