Making data markets
Digital data are increasingly framed as essential resources in health and medicine, implicating diverse actors who work to transform them into different forms of value. In this article we focus on the diverse and contingent valuation practices that shaped an artificial intelligence-enabled ‘smart’ health technology and the data it generated at different moments in time, and the corresponding asset forms that were envisioned, developed, tested, an…
Co-design and ethical artificial intelligence for health
Applications of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) in health care are dynamic and rapidly growing. One strategy for anticipating and addressing ethical challenges related to AI/ML for health care is patient and public involvement in the design of those technologies - often referred to as 'co-design'. Co-design has a diverse intellectual and practical history, however, and has been conceptualized in many different ways. Moreover, AI/…
"Reflexivity and the "Acting Subject
The ways in which social scientists conceptualize the "reflexive" human subject have important consequences for how we go about our research. Whether and how we understand human subjects to be the authors of our own actions helps to structure what we say about health, health care, and the many other topics addressed in qualitative health research. In this article, I critically discuss assumptions of human reflexivity that are built into qualitati…
The meaning of the experience of anticipating falling
Falling in later life continues to be a critical issue in gerontology research, health professional practice and ageing health policy. However, much research in the area of fall risk and fall prevention neglects the meaning of the experiences of older people themselves. This humanistic interpretive phenomenological study explored the meaning of the experience of anticipating falling from the perspective of older people in order to foster a more p…
Enacting Fall Prevention in Community Outreach Care
Despite increased international concern about fall prevention throughout the past 20 years, only limited attention has been paid to the experiences and perspectives of health care providers who deliver fall prevention programs. The purpose of this interpretive phenomenological study was to explore the meaning of the experience of enacting fall prevention, through individual semistructured interviews, among 6 members of an interprofessional geriat…
Qualitative Inquiry and the Debate Between Hermeneutics and Critical Theory
Two issues have been central to ongoing disputes about judgments of quality in qualitative inquiry: (a) the ways in which paradigmatic orientations are understood to guide procedural decisions and (b) the meaning and intelligibility of paradigmatic incommensurability. In this article, we address these two key issues through an exploration of the debates between hermeneutics and critical social theory, including the exchanges between Hans-Georg Ga…
