The “skillful incompleteness” of digitalization in data hesitant contexts
In contemporary health policy, digitalization is frequently imagined as a tool towards more effective and efficient governance. This article presents the case of the digitalization of the maternal and child health program in Austria; specifically, the recent introduction of an electronic maternal and child health record. Our study offers insights into what we label “data hesitancy” and the shape that digital health governance can take in such a c…
Making vaccines investable in preclinical vaccine R&D
Recent analyses of vaccine R&D focus on the problem of vaccine access and equity and link them to assetization logics in the pharmaceutical industry. At the same time, empirical analyses of valuation practices in health and biomedicine point to the multiplicity of coexisting valuations. This paper investigates how this multiplicity articulates with the pharmaceutical industry’s imperative to capitalize upon early-stage vaccine research, shaping w…
“I can't see the forest for the ticks, uhm, trees …”
When it comes to health-related information-seeking behavior, online communities play a key role for some groups, such as parents. With a case study of online communities in a loosely organized vaccination system, that of Austria, we study how parents make use of a prominent online forum (parents.at) in their vaccination trajectories and situate this analysis in its socio-political context. Based on inductive qualitative analysis of relevant thre…
Tracing data flows in Norway and Austria
The increased importance of datafication in different domains of society, and health in particular, has generated much attention in STS, specifically in the Nordic context. While much of this literature tackles newly emerging forms of data governance, we focus on a historically established and mundane data practice: that of recording vaccinations in vaccine registries. We mobilise the concept of data flows to compare the link between registry pra…
Unpacking the Role of Metrics in Global Vaccination Governance
Recent efforts by intergovernmental actors, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), to foster collaboration on vaccine-preventable diseases stand in stark contrast to the contextually contingent nature of national immunization programs: vaccination schedules and delivery differ greatly, and so do the ways in which these programs are assessed by means of coverage rates-a key metric in global health governance. These divergences, we show, are …
