[Digital Palliative Care]

Digital Palliative Care Abstract. Palliative care is becoming more and more digital. This article illuminates how digital approaches can help identify patients who qualify for palliative care offers and who wish to make use of them. Digital approaches can be used to monitor patients through apps and wearables, but digital methods are also becoming more important in psychosocial and spiritual support. One case demonstrates the therapeutic use of virtual reality. Work organization is digital, and teaching has also become digital during the corona crisis. In spite of all the advantages, however, the potential risks of digitization must also be considered.
