Research Interests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Medical Ethics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am interested in medical ethics while my focus is on the ethics and theory of digitalization of medicine and healthcare. I do mostly conceptual ethical research on algorithmic decision-making, artificial intelligence, data ethics, and informed consent in an age of digital medicine. Recently, I have expanded my research interests to methodological issues in bioethics, especially non-empirical methods and digital bioethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of Medicine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some years ago, history of medicine in antiquity was my primary area of interest. I published on questions of historical urology, rheumatology, dermatology, venereology, occupational medicine, as well as on diseases of civilization and affluence. Over time, I extended the chronological frame by also researching the history of medicine of the early modern period. The most recent historical papers cover also the 19th and 20th century. The time will come when I intesify my research on the history medicine again. Occasionally, I publish reviews of books on ancient history.<\/p>\n
