DTH-Lab "On 21 November 2024, our Director, Professor Ilona Kickbusch, delivered the keynote speech at the Global Forum for Health Promotion in Geneva. Speaking on the topic of Digitalization as a Growing Determinant of Health and Well-being, Ilona used the speech to highlight the need for action from public health agencies, governments and digital tech companies to address the digital determinants of health. - Health promotion aims to understand how digital transformations can contribute to empowerment and help moving health forward, but it also has a responsibility to analyze where digital determinants hinder and endanger health – and to respond."
