New Speaker confirmed: Prof. Hartmut Remmers (Osnabrück)
In future, an increasing number of elderly people will be reliant on assistance from the healthcare system. Digital assistance technologies such as GPS trackers, digital collections of vital data via monitoring devices or social assistance systems such as the toy robot “Paro” are praised as innovations to solve resource problems. These technologies promise self-determination despite limited capacities. At the same time, however, they raise a variety of ethical questions: To what extent can digital support opportunities promote autonomy and participation? Is this promise a delusion? Is there a threat of a technicalisation of care without human contact?
We are pleased to announce a public lecture by Prof. Hartmut Remmers as part of our conference. Hartmut Remmers is Professor of Nursing Science at the University of Osnabrück and an expert in the field of digital technologies in the healthcare sector. In his work, he examines the ethical as well as political dimension of digital assistance technologies.
The lecture will be held 7. February 2019, 18.00, Blue Square Bochum.
More Information can be found soon on this blog.
