Regulating AI in Mental Health: Ethics of Care Perspective

Regulating AI in Mental Health: Ethics of Care Perspective

These responsible AI principles have trickled down from professional and industry groups to expert panels to ethical, nonbinding documents and to the latest regulatory legal developments. Currently, the AI regulation is at a very preliminary stage. In most cases, existing laws combined with contemporary guidance are used to deal with certain aspects of AI in health [22-26].

Does an App a Day Keep the Doctor Away? AI Symptom Checker Applications, Entrenched Bias, and Professional Responsibility

At the same time, symptom checker apps powered by AI also raise serious ethical and legal questions [6]. Chief among them is that AI-powered symptom checker (AISymp Check) apps, to which we will refer in this viewpoint as AISymp Check apps, may work to entrench biases preexisting in the health care system [7] and that they may generate confusion about the legal obligations of health professionals in the course of interacting with these systems [8].

Privacy, Security, and Legal Issues in the Health Cloud: Structured Review for Taxonomy Development

Privacy, Security, and Legal Issues in the Health Cloud: Structured Review for Taxonomy Development

It is completely understandable that privacy and the related implications are complex and multidimensional, and are thus considered legal, philosophical, or even technical.  Furthermore, the involute definitions of privacy and cloud technological risks have stopped governments from adopting cloud technology in the health industry, and if cloud technologies are introduced in the health industry, issues like security, privacy, and legal obstacles play preventive roles.

The Role of Telehealth in Promoting Equitable Abortion Access in the United States: Spatial Analysis

Research has also demonstrated that the impacts of state abortion bans are experienced unequally. Increased distance poses particular challenges for low-income patients due to the lower likelihood of car ownership, loss of wages from the time needed off work, transportation costs for gas or transit fare, as well as the cost of lodging and childcare [10].

Collaborative Challenges of Multi-Cohort Projects in Pharmacogenetics—Why Time Is Essential for Meaningful Collaborations

The foundation board is responsible for expressing the support to the project, and it includes legal representatives having the authority to sign documents on behalf of the cohort. An ethics approval was necessary to receive the funding from BCPM and officially start the project (as such, funding was necessary to perform the genetic analysis). The ethics approval was conditional on approval from the scientific boards.
