Abstract:
In an increasingly digital healthcare landscape, it is essential to assess the ethical impact of technology on care practices. We present a conceptual framework on equity in digital health, addressing justice-related concepts and challenges to reducing the digital divide. An ethical approach ensures that digital health respects fundamental rights. We propose goals-such as incorporating digital determinants into public health policy-to promote justice and reduce health inequalities in digital health implementation.
