Abstract

Ethics of e-Health during the corona crisis and beyond: lessons from the pandemic Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, prevention and (long-term) care now often have to be provided remotely. Healthcare providers use various e-Health applications. Consider, for example, consultations via video calling, apps for self-monitoring, detecting infections and virtual visits from loved ones. Many consultations between healthcare providers have also taken place virtually. What is new is that e-Health replaced direct interaction and was not just a supplement to regular care. The aim of this 'natural experiment' is to learn how e-Health can be used in an ethically and legally responsible manner during and after the corona crisis.
