Optimizing the aging brain: a public health ethics perspective
A webinar by Dr. Alessandro Blasimme, ETH Zurich
Efforts to promote brain health increasingly rely on early detection and preventative strategies that extend clinical logic into the pre-clinical sphere, transforming healthy individuals into subjects of continuous self-surveillance and health optimization.
This talk examines the ethical implications of predictive technologies and AI models in brain health governance, calling for a model of vigilance that aligns with social solidarity and health equity.
The webinar is hosted by (University of Geneva) and offers a platform for shared learning and discussion, enabling participants to exchange insights and experiences.
