Abstract: The delivery of healthcare, which includes the informed consent process, is moving to a digital environment. This change in informed consent delivery will be associated with opportunities, risks and also unintentional consequences. Physicians are well placed to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about what is needed to make the informed consent process fit for purpose, in the digital age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
