The global dimensions of health and illness, moreover, their alarming manifestations amid pandemics, legacies of colonial harm and environmental crises, highlight the urgency to recalibrate our approaches to health towards cooperative and justice-oriented strategies to healthcare development, technology design, and implementation. Drawing on both international and cross-cultural perspectives, mHealth investigates the ongoing healthcare transformation generated by the potential of digital health technologies and the power dynamics, opportunities, asymmetries, and ethical implications for society through these changes. The book covers a range of topics, including digital health phenotyping, cross-cultural ethics, digital health justice, coloniality, Indigenous Data Sovereignty, and digital health ethics for the twenty-first century.
In order to foster a cooperative, beneficial, and just technological development, this volume integrates critical reflections on power imbalances, structural concerns of justice, intersectional and cross-cultural ethics, and decolonial perspectives on health and wellbeing. Discussing intersectional perspectives on mHealth technologies, the book prominently features debates on justice, equity, and solidarity from under-represented perspectives and on various ethical approaches to guide socially sustainable innovation with mHealth.
