This series provides ongoing opportunities to learn about and discuss the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSIs) of health research conducted by our UC San Diego community. A goal is to increase awareness of how technologies, like pervasive sensors and machine learning/artificial intelligence models introduce new ethical challenges in health research. This series presents opportunities for scientists and engineers to present their research and discuss the ethical challenges encountered as they plan and conduct digital health research.
