Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

161
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development.

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Public Health Ethics
  • Health Promotion

Background:

  • Digital tools show promise for promoting healthy lifestyles due to personalization and scalability.
  • However, ethical concerns regarding equitable access, consent, and outcomes for vulnerable populations are significant.
  • Existing ethical frameworks need adaptation for digital lifestyle interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review ethical principles for public health and lifestyle interventions.
  • To identify ethical considerations specific to digital health tools.
  • To propose an ethical framework for developing and deploying digital lifestyle interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A narrative review was conducted across three domains: general public health ethics, lifestyle intervention ethics, and digital health ethics.
  • Sixteen articles were included in the review.
  • Core ethical themes and specific digital intervention considerations were identified.

Main Results:

  • Five core ethical themes emerged: respect for autonomy, beneficence, avoiding harm, equity, and responsibility/sustainability/accountability.
  • Health equity and privacy were identified as key ethical considerations for digital interventions.
  • Digital tools may exacerbate existing health disparities, benefiting advantaged groups disproportionately.

Conclusions:

  • An ethical framework is necessary to guide the development and deployment of digital lifestyle interventions.
  • The framework addresses potential tensions between competing ethical principles.
  • It assists developers in prioritizing relevant ethical considerations throughout the intervention design process.
