Across seven chapters, it explores how measurement, classification, and datafication shape medical knowledge; how infrastructures and platforms distribute benefits and risks; how publics are imagined as patients, consumers, and citizens; and how privacy, access, and equity are negotiated in global health systems. This book concludes by outlining possible futures grounded in solidarity, patient-centred care, and democratic innovation – offering practical ways to shift PM from a privilege for the few to a shared public good.Written for scholars and practitioners in science and technology studies, sociology of medicine, health policy, and bioethics, as well as for clinicians and policymakers, this book will engage readers seeking to understand – and reshape – the social futures of data-intensive healthcare. It will also be useful for policy makers debating the implementation of different PM projects in local or national healthcare systems. pubtype: eBook doctype: Book ougenre: Book language: English copyright: @attributes: flag: N copyrightText: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
