It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.The global dimensions of health and illness, moreover, their alarming manifestations amid pandemics, legacies of colonial harm and environmental crises, highlight the urgency to recalibrate our approaches to health towards cooperative and justice-oriented strategies to healthcare development, technology design, and implementation. Drawing on both international and cross-cultural perspectives, mHealth investigates the ongoing healthcare transformation generated by the potential of digital health technologies and the power dynamics, opportunities, asymmetries, and ethical implications for society through these changes. The book covers a range of topics, including digital health phenotyping, cross-cultural ethics, digital health justice, coloniality, Indigenous Data Sovereignty, and digital health ethics for the twenty-first century.In order to foster a cooperative, beneficial, and just technological development, this volume integrates critical reflections on power imbalances, structural concerns of justice, intersectional and cross-cultural ethics, and decolonial perspectives on health and wellbeing. Discussing intersectional perspectives on mHealth technologies, the book prominently features debates on justice, equity, and solidarity from under-represented perspectives and on various ethical approaches to guide socially sustainable innovation with mHealth.

While migration has been a human constant, the past decade has brought an unprecedented number of migrants fleeing uninhabitable conditions in the countries or regions where they have been living. These people--displaced by famine, drought, disease, armed conflict, or persecution--often endure these conditions only to find themselves in another set of hostile circumstances as they try to find their way toward safety, at least, and a life of thriving at best.Forced Migration and Health Justice focuses directly on forced migration, health, ethics, and justice. The book deploys a "journey" approach to highlight the ways in which structural injustice is central to what threatens migrants' health. Organized to map migrant journeys, the chapters follow the route of the forcibly displaced, analyzing the cultural norms; political, economic, and social policies; and institutional structures encountered along the way that thwart health justice for forced migrants.The book is divided into four sections. The first section contains case studies depicting the plight of migrants in different regions, while the second section looks at life in detention facilities or encampments, spaces "inhabited" by so many forced migrants. The third section turns to destination countries and their treatment of the forcibly displaced in the context of health care, followed by the final section that offers arguments on the responsibilities of governments, international humanitarian organizations, health professionals, and civil society concerning structural health injustice.

This Palgrave Pivot  examines refugee camps in the EU, Australia, and their border zones. The approach is interdisciplinary, comprising perspectives of history, ethics, political science, literature, and health. The book argues that current practice of accommodating refugees is arbitrary and disempowering, ranging from strict regulation within nation states to detrimental conditions in extraterritorial camps. It instead proposes to increase public scrutiny of refugee camps, to enforce existing laws, and to endorse ethical place-making. With its contributions from a wide range of fields, this edited volume will be of interest to academics and students in public health, ethics, sociology, politics, and related fields.
