Abstract
Information and communication Technologies are increasingly present in health care, as exemplified by the recourse to remote consultation. Such care delivery modality brings unquestionable benefits, such as helping to face the contemporary challenges plaguing health systems worldwide. But its ever-increasing use underlines the importance of safeguarding ethical issues related to autonomy, equity, privacy, and the quality of the user-professional relations. This paper reflects on the ethical challenges presented before, during, and after remote consultation as to optimize and shape its use.
