Digital Health Technologies by Carolyn Johnston
This book explores eight digital health technologies, situated the context of a life span, from high throughput genomic sequencing technologies and DIY insulin delivery for diabetes management in paediatrics, to the use of robotic care assistants for older adults and digital advance care decisions.
‘This book provides an excellent overview of the types of digital technologies that are being introduced into the clinic and the way that they are changing clinical practiceUsing carefully selected case studies, the book analyses the complex ethical, legal and regulatory issues that are raised by implementing digital innovation. Carolyn Johnston is a lawyer who is well equipped to do this, having had many years working with clinicians and scientists who are navigating these issues. The threads that go through this book will provide readers with a rich understanding of these complex issues and generate insights into the way that clinical practice is changing.’
Jane Kaye, Professor of Health, Law and Policy and Director of the Centre for Health, Law and Emerging Technologies (HeLEX) at University of Oxford
‘Carolyn Johnston's book offers plain language insights into the complex and rapidly expanding world of digital health technologies. Consumers want the best, most convenient technologies to manage their health, yet clinicians may be wary of the traditional relationship power shifts and treatment efficacy concerns that result from the digital health care revolution.
Johnston explores eight new technologies and takes us back to the fundamentals of ethics, respect, humanity and evidence that should guide consumers, clinicians, regulators and society more broadly as this revolution unfolds. A timely scholarly contribution.’
Mark Cormack, Honorary Professor at the College of Health and Medicine, Australian National University (ANU)
