Increasingly digital technologies are used in healthcare. This book
explores eight digital health technologies, situated the context of
a life span, from high-throughput genomic sequencing technologies
and do-it-yourself (DIY) insulin delivery for diabetes management
in paediatrics, to the use of robotic care assistants for older
adults and digital advance care decisions. A scene-setting case
scenario at the start of each chapter describes the digital
technology and identifies the sometimes competing interests of the
key stakeholders. Broad themes of resource allocation, access to
technologies, informed consent, privacy of health data and ethical
concerns are considered in context, alongside analysis of legal
duties owed by healthcare professionals to act in their patients'
best interests. This book addresses legal and ethical issues
arising from the use of emerging digital health technologies and is
of interest to academics, clinicians and regulators and anyone
interested in the development of health technologies and the
challenges they may present. It focusses on the Australian legal
framework, with some comparison to other jurisdictions.

100 Cases in Clinical Ethics and Law explores legal and ethical
dilemmas through 100 clinical scenarios typical of those
encountered by medical students and junior doctors in the emergency
or outpatient department, on the ward or in the community setting.
Covering issues such as consent, capacity, withdrawal of treatment,
confidentiality and whistle-blowing, each scenario has a practical
problem-solving element, encouraging readers to explore their own
beliefs and values including those that arise as a result of
differing cultural and religious backgrounds. Answer pages
highlight key points in each case, providing advice on how to deal
with the emotive issues that occur when practising medicine and
guidance on appropriate behaviour. Making speedy and appropriate
decisions, and choosing the best course of action to take as a
result, is one of the most important and challenging parts of
training to become a doctor. These true-to-life cases will teach
students and junior doctors to recognize ethical and legal dilemmas
as they arise, and to respond appropriately.
