DigiHealth 2016: Health Ethics and Storytelling in a Digital Age

September 29 - 0ctober 1, 2016  Columbia, MO

The MU Center for Health Ethics is excited to partner with DigiHealth, a multidisciplinary team of digital storytellers.

From Facebook to Electronic Health Records, the ever-expanding forms of digital media bombarding clinicians, educators, and health care consumers pose complex ethical challenges.

Join us as we engage in practical application, academic inquiry, and pure storytelling delight as we explore the ethical and unethical practices of digital media in the area of health.

Conference Objectives:

• Network with renowned storytellers, educators, clinicians and researchers who are changing the healthcare landscape through digital media, narrative medicine, innovative health technologies, and related neuroscience research.
• Explore how digital media is being utilized to enhance health education and service delivery in order to promote patient-centered care and shared decision making.
• Discuss concerns related to unethical use of digital storytelling and media which may result in exploitation, personal gain, and manipulation of vulnerable populations.
