  text: '<jats:p> The application of artificial intelligence (AI) not only yields
    in advantages for healthcare but raises several ethical questions. Extant research
    on ethical considerations of AI in digital health is quite sparse and a holistic
    overview is lacking. A systematic literature review searching across 853 peer-reviewed
    journals and conferences yielded in 50 relevant articles categorized in five major
    ethical principles: beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice, and explicability.
    The ethical landscape of AI in digital health is portrayed including a snapshot
    guiding future development. The status quo highlights potential areas with little
    empirical but required research. Less explored areas with remaining ethical questions
    are validated and guide scholars’ efforts by outlining an overview of addressed
    ethical principles and intensity of studies including correlations. Practitioners
    understand novel questions AI raises eventually leading to properly regulated
    implementations and further comprehend that society is on its way from supporting
    technologies to autonomous decision-making systems. </jats:p>'
