The author of this interesting new book is Carolyn Johnston, currently chair of the Clinical Ethics Response Group at Monash Children’s Hospital, Melbourne and a research fellow at the University of Tasmania exploring legal and ethical obligations to provide raw genomic information to research participants.
Her book Digital Health Technologies (available from Routledge) addresses legal and ethical issues arising from the use of emerging digital health technologies. No doubt we will see medical litigation arising from some of these topics.
