Transformations in Care (TRACE): Investigating Emerging Human–Technology Interaction in Practices of Care

TRAnsformations in CarE (TRACE) delivers new in-depth and critical knowledge about the
rapid and profound transformations that our health and social care sectors are undergoing as effects of recent years’ digitalization. Today, care is increasingly being re-delegated and distributed through digital systems and devices implemented in our bodies, homes, and communities. However, this development is often propelled by technological advance and austerity politics, and thus lacking the necessary critical and qualitative oversight. This leaves us with a poor understanding of human-technology interactions in care and how they radically transform care relations between care-receivers, relatives and care-givers. TRACE contributes with a humanistic foundation for understanding the material, affective and ethical implications of digitalization as it unfolds in current and future care practices.
