Symposium reminder: Health Technologies in Practice: Between the home and the clinic
Health Technologies in Practice: Between the home and the clinic <br> <br>Time and venue: From 12:30pm on Wed 19th June 2019 to 1:30pm Thurs 20th <br>June 2019 <br>At: St Mary’s Church, Bramall Lane, Sheffield, S2 4QZ <br> <br>Symposium Description <br>There has been an explosion in markets for digital and wearable <br>technologies such as Fitbit and health apps. At the same time, and to some <br>extent prefiguring this, there has been a growth in consumer markets for <br>what might be thought of as more clinically orientated self-monitoring <br>devices. Products that were seen as the preserve of clinicians, such as <br>blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose or blood oxygen monitors, are now <br>widely available to buy. It is claimed that self-monitoring could transform <br>healthcare, promoting self-care, improving health and saving costs. The <br>provenance of such claims can be traced through previous innovations such <br>as ehealth, telecare and telehealth. Yet, as with previous innovations, <br>self-monitoring raises important questions about the distribution of <br>responsibilities for health and care, the spaces and relationships <br>involved, the role of health professionals and commercial actors, and the <br>production, distribution and control of knowledge. We might also ask how we <br>come to understand self-monitoring, and the different methods for <br>approaching this from a social science perspective. <br> <br>The symposium is part of a Leverhulme Trust Funded Research Project on <br>‘Knowledge, Care and the Practices of Self-Monitoring’. Focusing on <br>health <br>technologies in practice, the project aimed to understand how and why <br>people self-monitor and to consider how this relates to knowledge, <br>expertise and care. Presentations at the symposium will relate to <br>self-monitoring and other everyday health technologies to consider ‘health <br>technologies in practice’ from different perspectives and very different <br>methodologies. The symposium brings together an interdisciplinary group of <br>researchers, with interests in STS, medical sociology, anthropology, <br>disability studies, media studies and cultural studies. <br> <br>Speakers : <br> <br>Btihaj Ajana, Kings College London <br>Sharing and its discontents in the quantified self culture <br> <br>Dorthe Brogård Kristensen, University of Southern Denmark <br>Optimization and the imaginary of metrics <br> <br>Fiona Stevenson, University College London <br>Raising, discussing and using the internet in GP consultations <br> <br>Janice McLaughlin, University of Newcastle <br>The home and everyday life as a site of embodied self-monitoring <br> <br>Minna Ruckenstein, University of Helsinki <br>Seeking medicinal agencies: antidepressants and life effects <br> <br>Kate Weiner, University of Sheffield <br>Partial data and curation: the everyday data practices of self-monitoring <br> <br>Catherine Will & Flis Henwood, Universities of Sussex and Brighton <br>Monitoring with care?
