Abstract
The development of cognitive technologies and the robotization in health care may intensify the relational distance between healthcare professionals and patients. Therefore, bioethical reflection is essential to find the most appropriate means to integrate the benefits of digital technologies into health care, ensuring ethical care. Thus, bioethics provides healthcare professionals and patients with discursive resources, aiming to enable the most prudent and reasonable decision-making. The exercise of communicative competence is crucial in the process of digitalizing medical activities and in the use of data analysis through artificial intelligence. Deliberative practice and patient-centered medical care are the ethical directives for the introduction of computational technology in medicine, preserving humanized and dialogical health care.
