The Division of Ethics in Medicine at the University of Oldenburg engages in research and education regarding ethical questions of medicine and health care provision. Key activities are located in ethical aspects of aging and old age, in assistant technologies as well as in digitalization within the health care system.
Within the “Future of Care” cluster, the task of the Division of Ethics in Medicine is to examine and evaluate the ethical, social and legal aspects of this planning and implementation. The focus of the sub-project led by Prof. Mark Schweda is on investigating the distribution of care responsibilities in complex outpatient and inpatient care settings.
