IHEM external speaker Niklas Ellerich-Groppe: public ZOOM access

The IHEM is happy to host Niklas Ellerich-Groppe of University of Oldenburg for a new edition of our external speaker series with the following topic:

Stereotypical technologies – stereotypical healthcare? Towards diversity-sensitive healthcare in the digital era

Despite an increasing awareness for diversity in medicine and healthcare, the healthcare system is still far from ensuring adequate and equal treatment for all. This becomes particularly clear in the context of digital technologies that seem to promise improved healthcare for all on the one hand but, at the same time, threaten to exacerbate existing inequalities and discrimination on the other. Using the example of stereotypes in human-robot interaction in eldercare and gender-related inequalities in self-tracking-technologies, the talk addresses the question which ethical problems arise due to a lacking diversity-sensitivity in healthcare and sketches first steps towards a diversity-sensitive healthcare system in the digital era.

The talk is open to the public online: If you would like to attend, please use the following Zoom dial-in info:
