Abstract
- Promoting digital health can significantly enhance healthcare delivery and improve the population's overall health. Several technologies, including artificial intelligence and telemedicine, can aid in optimizing patient care and management while ensuring cost-effectiveness. However, it raises ethical concerns such as the breach of personal privacy, the risk of misdiagnosis to a larger population, and potential bias to certain populations. Technology should be used in a way that promotes the well-being of patients and is not used to exploit or manipulate people. This paper discusses ethical issues from an Islamic perspective regarding respect for individual dignity and autonomy, promoting social justice, ensuring patient safety, and the effects of using technology that will be applied to digital health. These guidelines can direct the creation and application of digital health technologies in a morally righteous manner that enhances the welfare of people and communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
