This book explores the ways in which socio-technical settings in
medical contexts find varying articulations in a specific locale.
Focusing on Japan, it consists of nine case studies on topics
concerning: experiences with radiation in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and
Fukushima; patient security, end-of-life and high-tech medicine in
hospitals; innovation and diffusion of medical technology; and the
engineering and evaluating of novel devices in clinical trials. The
individual chapters situate humans and devices in medical settings
in their given semantic, pragmatic, institutional and historical
context. A highly interdisciplinary approach offers deep insights
beyond the manifold findings of each case study, thereby enriching
academic discussions on socio-technical settings in medical
contexts amongst affiliated disciplines. This volume will be of
broad interest to scholars, practitioners, policy makers and
students from various disciplines, including Science and Technology
Studies (STS), medical humanities, social sciences, ethics and law,
business and innovation studies, as well as biomedical engineering,
medicine and public health.
