This is a detailed analysis of how understandings of health
management past, present and future has transformed in the digital
age. Since the mid-20th century, we have witnessed 'healthy'
lifestyles being pushed as part of health promotion strategies,
both via the state, and through health tracking tools, and
narratives of wellness online. This marks a seismic shift from a
public welfare state responsibility for health towards
individualised practices of digital self-care. Today health has
become representative of 'lifestyle corrections' which is performed
on social media. Putting the spotlight on neoliberalism and digital
technology as pervasive tools that dictate wellness as a moral
obligation, Rachael Kent critically analyses how users navigate
relationships between self-tracking technologies, social media, and
everyday health management. .
