This case study mentions the increased mobilization of technologies like the Health Buddy in the healthcare system, with an emphasis on the resulting digital divide. We could conceive of this technology as a scaled-down version of those that can be used in telehomecare in Quebec.

a) Search in Internet and find at least one scientific article that deals with telehomecare in the Quebec or Canadian health care system. Provide the full citation of the text found.

b) Using this article, the opinion entitled "Clinical telehealth in Quebec: an ethical perspective" and the article by Auger ("Health system: the era of the automated teller machine"), identify the ethical, legal and societal issues, challenges, advantages and disadvantages of this IT integration. Also explain how it contributes to a particular type of empowerment and whether it can be perceived as a form of digital divide, potentially different from that mentioned in the case study.
