Questioning Telecare
November 23-24,
Department of Philosophy
University of Twente
The planning of the workshop is a result of an already existing cooperation between the organisers. The aim of the workshop is twofold:
1) to facilitate a gathering of scholars, who are working with telecare and telemedicine projects in Holland and Denmark, and give them a possibility to present their work and get feedback from an informed group of likeminded people struggling with related issues;
2) to discuss and possibly outline a joint EU research application regarding sociotechnical healthcare practices in the intersection between the humanities and sociale sciences. How to study such activities and practices in projects at the intersection? How to speak about new individualised roles and responsibilities in a healthcare systems under changes, both patients and health professionals will be taking on new types of responsibilities. Possible title: ‘Sociotechnical intersections - New roles for patients and professional in health care. New roles for human-centered research.’
The organisers have invited a limited number of researchers and PhD students from University of Twente, Aarhus University, and the University of Southern Denmark to present their work to other scholars in the field, and to get informed response to their concepts and empirical findings. The cross-national setting will hopefully increase the overall awareness of similarities and differences between different national systems of health care and the concrete application of telecare into such systems.
