Important questions on solidarity and digitalisation

The Sanitas health insurance foundation encourages debate on the topic of digitalisation. It offers a platform for public debate on the development of solidarity.

Digitalisation is opening up opportunities in almost all areas of life. Companies – Sanitas included – are developing products and services with the aim of making them as easy as possible for customers to use. However, the developments are opening up entrepreneurial and social questions:

• How do people feel about the way increasing amounts of data on their health and habits are being captured and measured in real time?
  
• How does this affect personal behaviour and individual responsibility?
  
• What is the impact on group dynamics if we're increasingly being compared to one another?
  
• Are people taking greater responsibility for their actions? Is it creating new forms of solidarity?
  

The Sanitas foundation is stimulating debate around such questions with studies and impulse papers.
