| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Advancements in digital health improve access to health services by numerous emerging ethical challenges. This study employs a scoping review to find these issues from the experiences of the United States and Europe as the pioneers. A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, Europe PMC databases, and Google Scholar. Following rigorous screening, 103 out of 513 relevant articles published between 2020 and 2025 were selected. The findings indicate that privacy and data security, informed consent and transparency, quality of care and accountability are the most frequently cited ethical challenges. Other significant issues include education, adoption, and trust, equity and equal access, legal framework and regulations. Some studies mention the algorithmic transparency and bias, and human interaction and workload. Key ethical strategies include the privacy protection and data security, education, awareness, and human engagement, development of ethical, legal, and regulatory frameworks, transparency and informed consent assurance, improvement of user-centered design and secure technologies. Moreover, implementation challenges such as technology adoption and user training, technical and infrastructure challenges, stakeholder coordination and management, legal, ethical, and policy issues, financial, motivational, and access issues, data quality and technology accuracy were also highlighted. Proposed implementation strategies include training and empowerment to overcome organizational and cultural resistance, improvement of managerial and organizational processes, and enhancement of stakeholder engagement, coordination and collaboration, and improvement of technology infrastructure. Ultimately, this study highlights interdisciplinary approaches with key challenges, research gaps, and practical lessons in digital health, providing valuable insights for policymakers and researchers.</p> |
