This Symposium focuses on the Global South’s efforts to regulate health data. The proliferation of digital technologies, such as mobile devices, cloud technologies, connectivity infrastructures and new developments such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, is revolutionising healthcare access and provision while presenting enormous potential for widening health inequalities and harm to marginalised communities. The Symposium explores broader concerns of regulation needing to keep up with health innovations to address current practices of exploitation, commodification and corporatisation of human data for economic gain through digital health systems.
The Symposium will be edited by Sharifah Sekalala, Pamela Andanda and Tatenda Chatikobo.
