Abstract

Researchers frequently face ethical and privacy challenges on health applications. Ethics is a branch of moral philosophy and deals with the "right" and "good" actions of humans, which often leads to dilemmas. Reasons for this are social and societal dependencies of the respective norms. Data protection is regulated by law throughout Europe. This poster provides guidance on these challenges.
