The human right to health requires that everyone should have equal opportunities to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health. In practice, this is hard to achieve, as health is shaped by social determinants. This article explores the impact personalized medicine and use of big data may have on health disparities. New health technologies offer a lot of hope for more individual and better health promotion and care, which potentially could be beneficial for the most deprived. However, there are also concerns that not all population groups will profit equally from this new population-based medicine, and that new digital health technologies will maintain – or even reinforce – existing health disparities. This article suggests using insights from poverty studies combined with a patients’ and human rights-based approach to ensure that the most deprived are not left behind in the application of new health technologies.

健康差异和新的健康技术——从患者和人权的角度来看

健康人权要求每个人都应该有平等的机会享受可达到的最高健康标准。实际上,这很难实现,因为健康是由社会决定因素决定的。本文探讨了个性化医疗和大数据的使用可能对健康差异产生的影响。新的卫生技术为更多的个人和更好的健康促进和护理提供了很多希望,这可能对最贫困的人有益。然而,也有人担心,并非所有人群都能从这种新的基于人群的药物中平等受益,新的数字健康技术将维持甚至加强现有的健康差距。
