Dystopian Wednesday Discussions
Wednesday 10th February, 12:10pm – 12:50pm

Join us to discuss whether digital health is or can be all that we’ve been promised. Centred around a possible digital health dystopia (how the tools don’t live up to our expectations) these conversations will allow all of us (users, health professionals, researchers) to reflect on and interrogate whether we are using digital health for good.

The three (3) ‘citizen selected’ topic discussions will be facilitated by academics in the field with a video vignette to stimulate our discussions:
