“…Research by scientists in this area is based on the analysis of forensic and behavioral evidence and in many cases uses data analytics and computer modeling. F. Itulua-Abumere investigated the effectiveness of criminal profiling and predicted the characteristics of robbers based on separate empirical assessments of the criminal profile [3]. V. Tretynyk and A. Cherniavskyi developed a model of the psychological portrait of a criminal based on the rules of fuzzy logic [4].…”

Abstract-In general, the applications of robots have shifted rapidly from industrial uses to social uses. This provides robots with the ability to naturally interact with human beings and socially fit into the human environment. The deployment of social robots in the healthcare system is becoming extensive as a result of the shortage of healthcare professionals, rising costs of healthcare and the exponential growth in the number of vulnerable populations such as the sick, the aged and children with developmental disabilities. Consequently, social robots are used in healthcare for providing health education and entertainment for patients in the hospital and for providing aids for the sick and aged. They are also used for dispensing drugs and providing rehabilitation as well as emotional and aging care. Hence, social robots improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare services. The interaction between social robots and human beings is known as human-robot interaction. Human-robot interaction in healthcare is faced with numerous challenges such as the fear of displacement of caregivers by robots, safety, usefulness, acceptability as well as appropriateness. These challenges ultimately lead to a low rate of acceptance of the robotic technology. Consequently, this paper extensively appraises humanrobot interaction in healthcare, their applications and challenges. Design, ethical and usability issues such as privacy, trust, safety, users' attitude, culture, robot morphology as well as emotions and deception arising from the interaction between humans and robots in healthcare are also reviewed in this paper.

“…Ethics according to Williams [13], is the study of morality, a careful and systematic reflection on and analysis of moral decisions and behaviour, whether past, present or future. Ethics is a philosophical discipline which is concerned with the morality of human behaviour, with right and wrong [15]. Ethics also constitute the principles of right behaviour which guides the actions of individuals and groups.…”

The advent of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the past decades has led to the wide adoption of electronic healthcare systems in healthcare. This has in actual fact led to the improvement in the quality of healthcare by enhancing the collection, storage, retrieval and access to health information. In addition, the use of ICT in healthcare provides more efficient healthcare services by reducing medical errors and costs thereby increasing patients' safety and satisfaction. Moreover, patients' information can be located in more than one electronic healthcare system. This is because patients may have more than one healthcare provider or they may move from one location to another. Hence, it becomes pertinent for patients' information to be available in all electronic healthcare systems at all points of care. Thus, the seamless exchange of meaningful information amongst healthcare providers and patients at the point of care becomes very crucial. This is because the diagnoses and treatment of patients depends on the timely access to accurate patients' information such as the medical history, laboratory reports as well as radiology report. However, several ethical challenges such as data privacy, confidentiality, control of access to patients' information, the commercialization of de-identified patients' information and ownership of patients' information which are associated with the interoperability of electronic healthcare systems still remain unresolved. Hence, the acceptance and adoption of electronic healthcare systems for information exchange and use is discouraged and hindered. Consequently, the healthcare system is associated with high error rates and low quality healthcare services. Thus, ethical issues need to be addressed in the context of interoperability of electronic healthcare systems. Based on this background, this paper appraises ethical issues associated with the interoperability of healthcare systems and how they can be addressed.
