The accelerated adoption of digital health technologies in the last decades has raised important ethical and safety concerns. Despite the potency and usefulness of digital health technologies, addressing safety, and ethical considerations needs to take greater prominence. This review paper focuses on ethical and safety facets, including health technology-related risks, users' safety and well-being risks, security and privacy concerns, and risks to transparency and diminished accountability associated with the utilization of digital health technologies. In order to maximize the potential of health technology benefits, awareness of safety risks, and ethical concerns should be increased, and the use of appropriate strategies and measures should be considered.
在过去几十年中，数字健康技术的加速采用引发了重要的伦理和安全问题。尽管数字健康技术具有强大的功效和实用性，但需要更加重视解决安全和伦理方面的问题。本文综述了数字健康技术的伦理和安全问题，包括与健康技术相关的风险、用户的安全和健康风险、安全和隐私问题，以及与数字健康技术的使用相关的透明度降低和问责制减弱的风险。为了最大限度地发挥健康技术的效益，应该提高对安全风险和伦理问题的认识，并考虑使用适当的策略和措施。
