Tuesday, May 7th, 2019 - QUICK CORRECTION: "Operation Sparkle/Dodgeball" are NEXT Friday (17th). It was listed on our shared calendar for the 10th, but got changed (and the original date wasn't removed). Please update your bellringer sheet -thanks! There is no doubt that computers and technology have changed the way we take care of ourselves, treat and prevent illnesses, and even perform surgeries. Consider & respond to the following: 1. Amazon has recently announced that it has software that "mines" medical records to help develop better treatments. Should this software be used? Does this invade patient's privacy? Explain your thoughts. 2. Other companies are using medical records, scans, and test results to develop software that they can then sell to hospitals (sometimes for millions of dollars). Should this be allowed? If your medical records were part of the research, should you get paid? Explain your thoughts. 3. Robots that assist during surgery are already in use. Would you want a robot to help your doctor perform surgery on you? Would you let a robot do surgery on its own (without a doctor there)? Explain your thoughts. Comments are closed.
