DIGITAL INTERFACE IN HEALTH: ETHICAL DIMENSIONS OF TELEMEDICINE AND THE COMMUNICATION PERSPECTIVE

Öz

The rapid advancement of information and communication technologies has made telemedicine a central component of modern healthcare. Initially developed to extend medical services to emergencies and remote regions, it has become institutionalized within health systems. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this process, transforming physician–patient interactions and raising questions about safeguarding ethical principles such as autonomy, privacy, justice, and beneficence–nonmaleficence in digital contexts. This study explores the ethical dimensions of telemedicine from a communication perspective, emphasizing the redefined boundaries of physician–patient relationships. It traces telemedicine’s evolution from early telegraph and telephone consultations to satellite-based systems and contemporary internet applications. The analysis focuses on communication dynamics widely experienced during the pandemic, including differences from face-to-face interaction, the challenge of sustaining empathy and trust online, and shifting power relations. Findings indicate that while telemedicine enhances accessibility and efficiency, it also creates risks of miscommunication, weaker emotional connection, and data security concerns. Moreover, inequalities in digital access deepen ethical debates about justice. The study concludes that empathy, trust, and transparency must be reconsidered, offering communication-based recommendations for sustaining ethical healthcare in the digital era.
