Abstract:
The electronic informed consent (eIC) system is a product of modernization development of electronic and intelligent technology. In the context of COVID-19, the eIC system can adapt to the epidemic prevention and control requirements, showing its time-space advantages. By introducing the concept, form and the use of eIC system, this paper analyzed the challenges of acceptance, understanding, consent and information security faced by the eIC system. Based on this, some suggestions were put forward, including strengthening the training of the relevant personnel involved in the eIC system, enhancing and improving the functions of the eIC system, and perfecting the relevant laws and regulations of the eIC system, so as to provide reference for the future research and application of eIC.
