Within a 'regime of tactility,' it is supposed to redefine the state's presence in rural areas, not only by attending to patients but also by screening the population and establishing health databases. While the health workers who operate the digital platform represent the state in 'the peripheries,' the state itself exhibits mistrust towards them and monitors their performance through the platform. Based on long-term ethnographic research, the manuscript analyses the use of digital health technologies as technologies of accountability. The competitive nature of monitoring techniques leads to an ever-higher number of digital consultations, which projects the image of a caring and efficient state. However, the paper also explores the unintended consequences of this politics by display on the provision of healthcare.

The specialized technological solutions for telecare - the use of technologies for care at a distance - are often adopted by users in different ways than intended, or are abandoned if the users cannot find applications that are meaningful to them. However, beyond specialized healthcare technologies, people are incorporating mundane digital technologies into their (health)care practices. In this paper, we draw on ethnographic research on the use of everyday digital technologies in Indian families where migrating children who are professional nurses care for their aging parents at a distance. Our findings show that 1) remote elder care is enacted through frequent calling which further fosters trust, necessary to provide healthcare remotely; 2) the motivation for older adults to engage with digital technologies is grounded in the value of family and affect which is consequential also for health; 3) technologies, too, require care-work in the form of everyday maintenance; and 4) in-person visits from children remain important, indicating that hybrid interaction is optimal for good care at a distance. We conclude that taking these findings into account may contribute to a more successful implementation of formal telecare systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":8240,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"265-280"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142103827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By looking at automated therapy as both technological fix and sociotechnical object, I ask, What can we learn from engaging with psy technologists' imaginaries and practices of health care futures? What are the assumptions they encode in the app? How does automated therapy reconfigure the geographies and temporalities of care? While automated therapy as instantiated by Wysa provides, I argue, a modest mental health intervention, the scalar aspirations of designers are anything but small. The paper proceeds in three steps. First, it turns to designers' imaginaries of what it means to care for current mental health needs in digitally saturated lifeworlds and how they inscribe them into the app. It identifies nonjudgmental listening, anonymity, acceptance, reframing, and agency as key ideas encoded in Wysa's sociotechnical algorithms, along with a congruence between entrepreneurial and encoded ethics of care. Second, it situates automated therapy within anthropological scholarship on 'little' technical devices in global health to argue that automated therapy devices such as Wysa articulate dreams for minimalist interventions with macro effects. Finally, it explores the new geographies and temporalities of care that automated therapy spurs, tracing the ways the app bridges various spatial and temporal gaps and obstacles of human therapy and upends common global health pathways. This paper contributes to recent scholarship on aspirations, dreams and utopias and on digitization and datafication in global health.</p>","PeriodicalId":8240,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"232-249"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142456778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These projects promise to revolutionize health care and medicine. However, efforts to institutionalize digital technologies in health are often fraught with difficulties that cause them to stall during implementation. We explore digital health technologies with respect to how they are aspired to, designed, used, and resisted. Our central argument is that the spread of digital health technologies has set in motion complex processes around the production, extraction, circulation, and economic valorization of data. These processes reconfigure multiple sets of relationships between people, between human bodies, and machines, and between actors in health care and the diverse institutional landscapes they inhabit. We explore these processes in three interrelated and geographically dispersed fields: (a) imaginaries of health and well-being; (b) new geographies of care; and (c) the datafication and (dis-)embodiment of health. This special issue brings into creative tension case studies from across geographical locations and thematic areas. Taken together, they draw attention to the question of how digital health technologies are situated in making and shaping the future of health care. By foregrounding anthropological perspectives, this Special Issue pushes the epistemological boundaries of the emerging scholarship on digital health technologies and global health. At the same time, it argues for a closer engagement of medical anthropologists and sociologists with processes of digitization in health.</p>","PeriodicalId":8240,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"201-214"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142589588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines some of the enduring effects of practices of testing and demoing which were designed as temporary. Indeed, three years after MOS@N was shut down, godmothers are still doing care work. This work is now carried mostly on a voluntary basis and implies the constant repair of decaying technology, which undermines some of the original purposes of MOS@N, and (re)produces gendered forms of social obligation.

Situated at the interface of medical anthropology, critical studies of infrastructure and anthropological studies of digital innovations in healthcare, our paper attends to the emerging anthropological research on medical logistics as a means of connecting people with medical resources. It demonstrates the fundamentally ambivalent nature of technological innovation: on the one hand, drones have fueled health workers' hopes and transformed access to blood. On the other hand, their introduction has also led to connectivity without stock. In line with STS scholarship, we highlight the important role of the physical properties of objects such as blood in shaping their circulation.</p>","PeriodicalId":8240,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"215-231"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142456777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
