Connected Digital Devices in Health is a collective work that reports on the deployment of digital technologies in the healthcare sector, with a view to understanding the underlying logic that has structured and organized the healthcare field and healthcare practices since the end of the 20th century.
This new volume in the “Computing and Connected Society” series examines contemporary transformations in the healthcare sector, analyzing how the dynamics that structure it are evolving in line with the accelerated deployment of digital innovations. This original analysis explores the challenges posed by these changes in terms of legal risks, social practices, the socioeconomics of e-health, and healthcare governance through patient data. Finally, the book identifies several major evolving trends, opening up the debate on the contours of tomorrow’s healthcare world.
