Abstract:
This lecture will take us to the health sector and specifically explore how emerging fields of digital health innovations have been in the focus of major governance efforts. However, we will not look into formal regulatory efforts or legal framings as forms of democratic governance, but explore how citizens and other stakeholders can govern the development of digital health technologies through co-creation approaches. This will allow to reflect who can claim voice and exercise participation rights, in short how can we understand representation in the context of technological decisions in complex digital health environments. But it also means reflecting how digital health technologies start to shape a new kind of digital health citizenship. Drawing these reflections together will allow us to explore questions of justice and inequality that potentially emerge as a spill-over effect of innovation processes and the accompanying governance models.
