Description

This session investigates the social dimensions of technology within medicine. Social dimensions may include the interpersonal, organizations, cultural contexts and/or policy. Technology is broadly defined and may include the design, use, or implementation of health information technology (e.g., electronic health records, clinical decision support systems, patient portals), consumer-facing information or communication technologies (e.g., internet support groups, self-tracking mobile devices), imaging technologies (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging, X-rays), and laboratory testing (e.g., genetic testing). Papers should highlight sociological contributions to the study of technology in medical knowledge, health, illness, or health care.
