Rethinking DigitalHealth: experience, ethics, justiceA one day workshop for postgraduate students and earlycareer researchers14 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, ‘digitalhealth’ has emerged as a field of interest for researchers in the socialsciences and the humanities. However current research into this small butrapidly growing area often overlooks issues relating to under- or mis-represented groups in ‘digital’ economies, and often celebrate, rather thancritically interrogate, the development of digital health itself. This workshopaims to challenge some of the unquestioned assumptions that guide researchersand practitioners of digital health alike. How might a focus on experience,ethics and justice contribute to critical digital health studies?
