The Future after COVID-19: Healthcare, Digitalization and Inequality

Julia Puaschunder ()

Scientia Moralitas Conference Proceedings from Research Association for Interdisciplinary Studies

Abstract: The ongoing COVID-19 crisis accounts for one of the most unpredicted economic disruptions in the history of humankind. COVID-19 as an external shock implies widespread and sustainable changes in the way humans live, work and interact on a global scale. With economic turmoil and social perturbation opens an abyss of novel and unprecedentedly described inequalities in the legal and economic spheres. The paper addresses novel trends that may spring out of COVID-19 in the healthcare sector, in regards to digitalization and inequality. Studying these forward-looking trend predictions aids us to understand the challenges that lie ahead in our post-COVID-19 world to come.
