About this book
This volume breaks new ground by asking how our understandings of gender can be informed by exploring the socio-technical relations of ICTs in health care, and how far an appreciation of the ways in which gender works can inform and improve our understanding of how ICTs are being developed, implemented, and used in health care contexts.
Reviews
'...a welcome contribution to the body of evidence about the socio-technical co-construction of technology, health and gender... this volume is of interest to multiple audiences. It is equally appropriate to nursing, health sciences, information studies, and labour studies.' - International Journal of Gender, Science and Technology
'...the book clearly fulfils its aim to bring together analysis of gender, ICTs and health care, addressing a gap in existing literature.' - Sociology of Health and Illness
