Produktbeschreibung

The advanced technologies being used in diagnosis and care within modern medicine, whilst supporting and making medical practices possible, may also conflict with established traditions of medicine and care. The changes in medical practices brought about by the involvement of artefacts highlight some interesting questions to be addressed in this volume through a focus on various technological practices within hospitals and sociotechnical systems of care.
