Citizen science’s transformative impact on science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processes
Citizen science (CS) can foster transformative impact for science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processes. To unleash this impact, a clearer understanding of its current status and challenges for its development is needed. Using quantitative indicators developed in a collaborative stakeholder process, our study provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of CS in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Our online survey with 340 …
Reimagining health services provision for neglected groups: The “personalization from below” phenomenon
How can data-driven citizen science activities supporting health research and services provision meet the needs of unrepresented and neglected groups through increased personalization? In this short Perspective, we explore "personalization from below" as a concept designating forms of citizen science-based data altruism that specifically push for and enact a different understanding of both health services and personalization. We develop the argum…
From self-tracking to self-expertise: The production of self-related knowledge by doing personal science
This article explores the production and type of knowledge acquired in the course of specific digital self-tracking activities that resemble research and are common among followers of the Quantified Self movement. On the basis of interviews with self-trackers, it is shown that this knowledge can be characterised as a verified and practical self-knowledge, and that science in the form of scientific sources, methods and quality criteria plays a key…

Integrated assessment of emerging science and technologies as creating learning processes among assessment communities
Emerging science and technologies are often characterised by complexity, uncertainty and controversy. Regulation and governance of such scientific and technological developments needs to build on knowledge and evidence that reflect this complicated situation. This insight is sometimes formulated as a call for integrated assessment of emerging science and technologies, and such a call is analysed in this article. The article addresses two overall …

Das Gesundheitswesen aus Innovationssystemperspektive: Acht Thesen und Handlungsmöglichkeiten, Teil 2
The need for reform and the future viability of the German health care system have been at the centre of political and academic debates for many years. So far, innovation research has been rather irrelevant in this context. Nevertheless, it allows for a new view of the health care system since it investigates the obstacles and potentials of both technical-economic and organisational-social innovations. From this innovation systems perspective, th…
Das Gesundheitswesen aus Innovationssystemperspektive: Acht Thesen und Handlungsmöglichkeiten. Teil 1
Die Reformbedürftigkeit und Zukunftsfähigkeit des deutschen Gesundheitswesens steht seit Jahren im Mittelpunkt politischer und wissenschaftlicher Debatten. Die Innovationsforschung hat hier bislang kaum eine Rolle gespielt, ermöglicht aber insofern einen neuen Blick auf das Gesundheitswesen, als sie nach Hemmnissen und Potenzialen von sowohl technisch-ökonomischen als auch organisatorisch-sozialen Innovationen fragt. Aus eben dieser Innovationssy…
A Varied Pattern of Change of the Sex Differential in Survival in the G7 Countries
Over the course of the 20th century the sex differential in life expectancy at birth in the industrialized countries has widened considerably in favour of women. Starting in the early 1970s, the beginning of a reversal in the long-term pattern of this differential has been noted in some high-income countries. This study documents a sustained pattern of narrowing of this measure into the later part of the 1990s for six of the populations that comp…
A divergent pattern of the sex difference in life expectancy: Sweden and Japan, early 1970s-late 1990s
For most of the 20th century the sex gap in life expectancy in the industrialized countries has widened in favor of women. By the early 1980s a reversal in the long-term pattern of this differential had occurred in some countries, where it reached a maximum and thereafter followed a declining trend. Of particular interest to the present investigation is the anomalous experience of Japan, where unlike other high-income countries the female advanta…
