Rethinking Digital Health: experience, ethics, justice
A one day workshop for postgraduate students and early career researchers
14 June 2017, The Shed, Manchester Metropolitan University.
PROGRAMME AND FURTHER DETAILS HERE: https://sites.google.com/view/rethinkingdigitalhealth/home
With increasing use of tele-communication, mobile devices, smartphone apps and self-tracking devices for medical purposes, ‘digital health’ has emerged as a field of interest for researchers in the social sciences and the humanities. However current research into this small but rapidly growing area often overlooks issues relating to under- or mis- represented groups in ‘digital’ economies, and often celebrate, rather than critically interrogate, the development of digital health itself. This workshop aims to challenge some of the unquestioned assumptions that guide researchers and practitioners of digital health alike. How might a focus on experience, ethics and justice contribute to critical digital health studies?
