AI, Novel Technologies, and Health Equity

Sun, August 9, 12:00 to 1:30pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)

Description

New technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), at-home diagnostics, and genomic screening are rapidly transforming possibilities for health. In some cases, novel technologies promise early detection and intervention. In others, they purport to streamline care delivery and enable personalized medicine. As technologies are imagined, developed, and implemented, they often spur anticipated and unanticipated effects across multiple social and institutional worlds. This session invites papers on novel technologies in health and medicine. We welcome empirical studies that investigate the integration of new technologies in diverse home, clinical, hospital, and laboratory environments. We are especially interested in critical analyses of technology and social power, including their implications for patient care and equity. We also welcome studies that bring insights from science and technology studies (STS) to debates in medical sociology.
