In this season, we are taking an in-depth look at The Role of Robotics — and Robots — in Healthcare, and this episode will focus specifically on The Human Touch: Ethical Considerations in Healthcare Robotics. My guest today is Keith Abney, a lecturer in the philosophy department at California Polytechnic State University – San Luis Obispo and a member of CalPoly’s Ethics + Emerging Sciences Group. He will help us explore the ethical implications of integrating robots into healthcare, discussing topics such as patient trust, privacy concerns, and the balance between human and robotic interaction in caregiving.
