As individuals increasingly seek ways of accessing, understanding
and sharing data about their own bodies, this book offers a
critique of the popular claim that 'more information' equates to
'better health'. In a study that redefines the public, academic and
policy related debates around health, bodies, information and data,
the authors consider the ways in which the phenomenon of
self-diagnosis has created alternative worlds of knowledge and
practises which are often at odds with professional medical advice.
With a focus on data that concerns significant life changes, this
book explores the potential challenges related to people's changing
relationships with traditional health systems as access to, and
control over, data shifts.
