Call for Abstracts: Deadline Extended

In response to a number of request we extend the deadline for our call for Abstracts. Our conference reflects on the use of social assistive technologies in healthcare. We welcome submissions to all of our four subthemes on ethical dimensions of social assistive technology in elderly care and medicine. The four topics are:

• Ethical Foundations of social assistive technologies
• Privacy and Simulation
• Self-determination between personal autonomy and socially assistive devices
• The element of care in social assistive technologies

The interdisciplinary conference addresses early stage researchers from different disciplines (medical ethics, medicine, law, philosophy, psychology, nursing science, political and social sciences, public health, history). Researchers from different countries (especially Germany, Switzerland and other European countries) are invited to present their research projects, to discuss them with leading experts and to contribute to the interdisciplinary discourse.
