AI-enabled home health monitoring, care delivery and health apps are transforming healthcare. Using the lens of relational autonomy theory, Anita Ho carefully assesses both the potential benefits of these technologies and the ethical challenges they raise for users' autonomy. She demonstrates the importance of situating AI health technologies in a wider socio-relational context, and argues that to truly enhance users' autonomy, these technologies should complement, rather than replace the therapeutic relationship. Timely, informative and thoroughly researched, Ho's book makes an important contribution to contemporary debates about AI and healthcare. * Catriona Mackenzie, Philosophy * Anita Ho parts the fog of technological determinism with moral clarity.
