<br>Subject: [EASST-Eurograd] CfP Digital Healthcare 20  21 June 2017 (Deadline 1
<br>March)
<br>
<br>
<br>Centre for Health Innovation, Leadership and Learning, University of
<br>Nottingham, UK - Symposium June 2017
<br>
<br>Digital Healthcare: social logics, ethics and politics of data and technology
<br>provision 20  21 June 2017
<br>
<br>The growing importance and sophistication of digital technologies, such as
<br>electronic patient records, smart wearable devices and applications, promises
<br> or threatens  a significant shift in healthcare practices. New kinds of
<br>global markets for healthcare are emerging, and responsibility for health and
<br>well-being seems to be devolving onto the data-equipped individual. Coupled to
<br>political claims of digital revolutions in healthcare policy, the digital
<br>transformation of healthcare also marks a shift in the terms on which
<br>political economic and ethical decisions about health are made in the context
<br>of the sustainability of national health systems, whether by a patient, a
<br>clinician or a commissioner. Digital technologies promise smart, convenient
<br>and personalisable servicing of individual healthcare needs, but at the same
<br>time they threaten significant changes around the ethics of privacy, around
<br>evidence-based data driven policy formation and around organisational reform
<br>affecting patients and medical professionals, amongst other things.
<br>
<br>  *   How are healthcare policies and the organisation of healthcare systems
<br>affected by digital health data?
<br>  *   What are the risks and benefits for clinicians and patients of the
<br>good, clean data that digital technology promises?
<br>  *   How good is this kind of data, and how effectively is it translated
<br>between settings, including into policy arenas?
<br>  *   How is healthcare policy affected by the promises of digital data?
<br>  *   Digital data in policy making.
<br>
<br>This symposium aims to question some of hubris around the transformation of
<br>healthcare. It aims to contextualise the apps and algorithms that have proved
<br>to be of growing interest recently and to situate digital health data in a
<br>broader, historical and institutional questioning of the economic, political
<br>and technological drivers of the emergence of digital health. The symposium
<br>will focus on two key themes: the ethics and politics of digital healthcare
<br>data and the social logics of digital technology provision. Papers addressing
<br>these two themes might consider a more specific focus on:
<br>
<br>  *   Evidence based medicine and digital data
<br>  *   Digital infrastructures in healthcare
<br>  *   The effects of digital data on clinical work and patient treatment
<br>  *   Markets in digital healthcare
<br>  *   The role of data in organisational reform; the role of organisational
<br>reform in the production of data
<br>  *   The ethics of digital health data
<br>  *   Big digital health data and the sustainability of national health
<br>systems
