The implementation of \u201cdigitalization\u201d in psychiatry encompasses various areas of application<br\/>with the goal of optimizing psychiatric care, improving access to<br\/>diagnostics and treatment, and evaluating treatments. For example, digital health applications<br\/>such as apps for patients offer the possibility of supporting treatment through<br\/>online-based interventions. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses not only possibilities for treatment planning but also opportunities for the early diagnosis of mental disorders, as well as in therapeutic procedures. Also conceivable are digital applications that optimize therapeutic procedures and monitor their implementation. Furthermore, the electronic health record represents a means of data collection and storage intended to contribute to the improvement of medical care.<br\/>From medical-ethical, psychiatric, and legal perspectives, these new developments are sometimes the subject of<br\/>controversial debate. To what extent is digitalization changing psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care<br\/>for patients? What are the benefits, but also what are the risks associated with this? Can digital applications<br\/>simplify access to psychiatric care, or might they even make access more difficult for certain groups?<br\/>From an ethical and legal perspective, what boundaries are important when considering the specific situation<br\/>of people with mental illnesses?<br\/>The AEM working groups \u201cEthics in Psychiatry\u201d and \u201cDigitalization and Health\u201d would like to explore these questions<br\/>at a joint event from an interdisciplinary perspective. The event is aimed<br\/>at members of both working groups as well as the interested (professional) public.         <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 21, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Venue: University of G\u00f6ttingen VENUEUniversity of G\u00f6ttingenConference Center at the ObservatoryGeismar Landstr. 11b37083 G\u00f6ttingen https:\/\/www.uni-goettingen.de\/de\/tagungszentrum+an+der+sternwarte\/125324.html COSTS AND REGISTRATIONParticipation is free of charge.
