“…In terms of healthcare and a few other industries, automation and AI would raise questions about the people's ability to direct their rely towards their decisions and the course of action. Maintaining that people are completely aware of the process and have the right to choose the directions of development is an important prerequisite since ethics principles as well as people's rights would be respected accordingly (Wagner & Borycki, 2022). Organizations should focus on the field of informed consent, user participation and respect of autonomy in the development and deployment of high-advanced technologies.…”

“…5 Για τον Καναδά, το ετήσιο κόστος υγειονομικής περίθαλψης για ασθενείς με άνοια είναι 8,3 δισεκατομμύρια δολάρια και μέχρι το 2031 το κόστος αυτό αναμένεται να διπλασιαστεί σε πάνω από 16,5 δισεκατομμύρια δολάρια. 8 Τα οικονομικά αυτά στοιχεία σε συνδυασμό με την εμπειρία των ασθενών και των φροντιστών τους θέτουν σε υψηλή προτεραιότητα την έννοια της διασφάλισης των ατόμων με άνοια στην καθημερινή διελκυνστίδα των δικαιωμάτων και κάνουν επιτακτική την συζήτηση για την βιοηθική θεώρηση της άνοιας και τη νομική προστασία των πασχόντων.…”

“…Επομένως, υπάρχει ανάγκη να εξεταστεί η τεχνολογία στο πλαίσιο του βέλτιστου συμφέροντος του ασθενούς. 8 Η ανάπτυξη κατευθυντήριων οδηγιών και κανονισμών σε αυτόν τον τομέα θα πρέπει να εξετάσει προσεκτικά τις διάφορες συνθήκες και να αποφύγει μια μονολιθική προσέγγιση. Για παράδειγμα, οι εφαρμογές τηλεπαρουσίας έχουν περιγραφεί ως μέσα μετριασμού αλλά και επιδείνωσης της απομόνωσης σε ηλικιωμένους.…”

“…CRs are believed to have the potential to benefit the health care systems around the world by helping to fulfil an increasing care demand and improving the quality of care services provided [9]. While this type of technology comes with potential positive improvements for prospective patients and carers, it also sparks ethical concerns when considering the patients' best interests [10,11]. For instance, patients presenting with physical, cognitive, or emotional impairments due to their condition are considered as a vulnerable population and could see benefits from using CRs in their activities of daily living (e.g., grooming, feeding, moving).…”
