Abstract


Technological Innovations and Human Rights

Authors: Aytul Kasapoglu.

Although human rights in general and the right to a healthy life are very important in Turkey, as in the whole world, they can sometimes be violated due to economic, cultural, bureaucratic or legal reasons. The main problem of this research is that the use of advanced technology in health leads to grievances in some cases as well as the benefits it provides. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the effects of perceiving the data collected in health from time to time as a risk. Qualitative data collected by making oral history on the basis of narrative revealed that individuals stay away from health services because of the concern that their privacy decreases as digitalization in health increases. In order to reduce the risk of risking the health of especially disadvantaged groups, some suggestions have been made based on interdisciplinary studies, especially providing anonymity in online health services.
