Innovations and challenges in the field of medical law: critical analysis Of professional responsibility AND new technological paradigms

Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the influence of technological innovations on the reconfiguration of the doctor-patient relationship, considering the ethical, operational and regulatory challenges arising from the digitalization of communication processes in the health area. Using a qualitative approach and a systematic review of the literature, recent and pertinent works were selected through renowned electronic databases, applying strict inclusion and exclusion criteria that ensured the relevance of the studies to the theme. The methodology adopted made it possible to identify the main elements that underlie the transformations in care, such as the expansion of access to information, the strengthening of informed consent and the personalization of treatments, aspects that emerged from the analysis of the data available in the literature. The results show that the integration of digital platforms, artificial intelligence and information systems has promoted a remarkable transformation in the dynamics of communication between doctors and patients, allowing faster and more accurate dissemination of clinical data and contributing to the autonomy of patients in decision-making. It was observed that, although innovations bring clear benefits, they also impose significant challenges, especially with regard to the security and protection of personal data and the need for constant updating of ethical and regulatory protocols. The findings point to the importance of strategies that reconcile technological advances with the maintenance of humanistic values in medical practice, in order to mitigate the risks arising from automation and ensure clear and effective communication. The final considerations highlight that digital transformation in health is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, which requires the implementation of public policies and continuous investments in digital infrastructure and professional training, to ensure the harmonious integration between technology and humanized care. It is concluded that the future of the doctor-patient relationship will depend on the ability of professionals and institutions to adapt to this new context, promoting a medical practice that balances innovation, ethics and protection of patients' rights, in order to maximize the benefits of technological advances without compromising the quality and safety of the care provided.
