De maatschappelijke bereidheid om digitale gezondheidsinstrumenten toe te passen: de mythen die we onszelf vertellen en de mensen die niet mogen achterblijven

Deze lezing vindt plaats in het Engels.

This lecture’s core topic revolves around how COVID-19 has changed the healthcare landscape to better accommodate digital health practices. However, have these changes remained? Were they implemented in a way that allowed them to continue to exist or were they simply a temporary solution? This lecture will explore some of the applications of digital health tools we have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic thus far and some that are in development.

Furthermore, it will explore avenues where digital health may be applicable in the future. It will then transition to an analysis of how digital health-seeking behaviour has changed over the course of the pandemic and end with some takeaways on how to ensure that digital health does not become the exclusive domain of those who are more naturally more digitally inclined than others.
