Louise Hansen er bogens praktiserende læge, hun har mange patienter, men ikke tid nok.Danskerne er efterhånden gode til at blive gamle, high five, men det øger presset på sundhedsvæsenet. Derfor skal vi blive bedre til at udnytte teknologi til at løfte opgaver fra lægen over på patienten selv.Hvad hvis vi bad fremtidens patient om selv at undersøge sin urin for bakterier, pode for halsbetændelse, måle blodtryk, hjerterytme og iltning af blodet? Ville det betyde dårligere behandling? Nej, tværtimod.Smartphones, apps, puls-ure og kunstig intelligens er fremtidens nyttige værktøjer i lægetasken – og de kan forbedre behandlingen, befolkningssundheden og lægens arbejdsvilkår. De to læger Andreas Pihl og Michael Hejmadi giver et underholdende kig ind i den almene lægepraksis, hvor både sundhedsvæsenet og den praktiserende læge er sat skakmat af dumme systemer og forældede organisationer.

In today's digital age, technology plays a vital role in almost every aspect of our lives. From communication and education to healthcare and entertainment, technology has revolutionized the way we live and work. However, just like any other tool, it can be used for both positive and negative purposes. This is where the importance of technology ethics comes into play.Technology ethics refers to the moral principles and guidelines that govern the use of technology. It involves understanding the impact of technology on individuals, society, and the environment, and making responsible choices that align with ethical values. As students and future coders, it is crucial to grasp the significance of technology ethics and integrate it into our work and decision-making processes.One of the primary reasons why technology ethics is essential is because it helps protect individuals' privacy and security. In today's interconnected world, the collection and use of personal data have become widespread. Ethical considerations ensure that individuals' information is handled with care, and their privacy is respected. By adhering to ethical practices, we can prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and other cybercrimes that compromise people's sensitive information.Furthermore, technology ethics helps promote fairness and equality. As the digital divide widens, it is crucial to ensure that everyone has equal access to technology and its benefits. Ethical considerations help prevent discrimination and bias in the development and deployment of technology. By designing inclusive and accessible technologies, we can bridge the gap between different socio-economic backgrounds and create a more equitable society.Additionally, technology ethics encourages sustainability and environmental responsibility. The production and disposal of technology have significant environmental impacts. Ethical practices prioritize the use of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient designs, and responsible e-waste management. By considering the environmental consequences of our technological choices, we can minimize our carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future.Moreover, technology ethics fosters transparency and accountability. As creators and users of technology, it is important to understand the potential consequences of our actions. Ethical considerations help us take responsibility for the outcomes of our technological advancements. By being transparent about the intentions and potential risks associated with technology, we can build trust among users and ensure that our innovations serve the greater good.

Understanding the Basics of HackingIn today's digital age, it is crucial for students to be aware of the basics of hacking. Hacking, often portrayed in movies and media as a mysterious and illegal activity, is actually a broad term that encompasses various techniques used to gain unauthorized access to computer systems. While hacking can be used for both good and malicious purposes, it is important for students to understand the fundamentals to protect themselves and their digital assets.Firstly, it is essential to grasp the motivations behind hacking. Cyber criminals use technology to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems to gain unauthorized access or steal sensitive information. Their motives can vary, ranging from financial gain, personal vendettas, or even political agendas. By understanding the motives behind hacking, students can better comprehend the potential threats they may face and take appropriate precautions to safeguard their devices and data.One of the most significant aspects of hacking is understanding common attack vectors. Cyber criminals exploit various techniques, such as phishing, social engineering, malware, and brute force attacks, to compromise computer systems. Phishing involves tricking individuals into revealing sensitive information through seemingly legitimate emails or websites. Social engineering exploits psychological and behavioral patterns to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential data. Malware, including viruses, worms, and Trojan horses, are malicious software programs that infect computers and allow hackers to gain unauthorized access. Brute force attacks involve repeatedly guessing passwords until the correct one is found.Students must also be aware of the importance of strong passwords and regularly updating them. Weak passwords are easily cracked by hackers using brute force techniques. By creating unique, complex, and lengthy passwords, students can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to their accounts. Additionally, using multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification, such as a fingerprint or a generated code.Another crucial aspect of understanding hacking is the concept of ethical hacking or penetration testing. Ethical hackers, also known as white hat hackers, use their skills to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems and help organizations strengthen their security. By learning about ethical hacking, students can gain valuable insights into the mindset and techniques of hackers while also exploring potential career paths in cybersecurity.

Introducing ethically controversial (bio)technologies into the public healthcare system inevitably provokes societal and legal conflict. While it is often argued that these choices ought to comply with moral standards, the consideration of ethical and religious concerns raises a serious problem of legitimacy. By adopting the position that the state must act in an ethically neutral manner this book provides a critical legal analysis of the relationship between ethics and law and its implications for the public healthcare system. The ensuing examination combines a comparative, legal-constitutional perspective with the investigation of two case studies: preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

Christian and other nurses in the hostile modern and increasingly secular age may feel helpless in an environment that created the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) and continues to foster end of life 'care' through sedation and dehydration. The book aims to enlighten both health professionals and the public alike to their rights of conscience and knowledge of the needs of vulnerable patients whether related to ethical care or guidance and the law which can affect them. Indifference to patients'needs and suffering may be injurious to nurses' health all of whom have a conscience. This must be respected, protected and used as a guide to truly care for the patient's benefit, reqardless of laws and professional pathways which may prove harmful to many vunerable patients. The questioning nurse on ethical issues and dilemmas needs consideration, respect and support when attempting to act as the patient advocate. Managers at all levels need to be aware of the concerns of front line nurses and to be mindful that recruitment and retention are both equally important factors for the quality of patient care and nurse morale and work satisfaction. The NHS was a wonderful creation which is only as good as its staff at all levels. Its managers and government ministers must remember that the more authority invested in them, the more the accountability and transparency expected by both health professionals, their patients and the public.
