Following a suite of health technologies, this book maps out the complex relationship between users and designers, offering three outstanding case-studies of the development and use of new health technology. These studies follow the evolution of new health technology in detail through several rounds of design and deployment across various organisations.
'This book promises to be an important scholarly contribution to the social analysis of technology. I would recommend the book to anyone wishing to understand the evolution of a technology, and especially how the relations between designers and users play a role in that shaping process.' - Neil Pollock, University of Edinburgh, UK
'This groundbreaking work traces the complex relationship between designers, developers and users in the biography of technical artifacts - anyone interested in the nature and process of technical innovation will find much to meditate on and much to apply.' Geoffrey C. Bowker, Santa Clara University, USA
