Review
Care at a distance eloquently combines theories from various disciplines with detailed empirical analyses of telecare practices - also relevant for non-academic actors in the field. -- Hans Harbers, is philosopher of science, technology and society and author of Inside the Politics of Technology (AUP).[-] - "Pols's exciting new book provides important insights into how innovative telecare practices are 'achieved' in everyday practice and how 'uncontrolled' field studies can be used both to understand and improve care practices." -- Flis Henwood, Professor of Social Informatics in the School of Applied Social Science, University of Brighton, UK She has published widely on e-health discourse, the internet and the 'informed patient'. - "Jeannette Pols has written a timely and thought-provoking book about what happens when technologies are used to provide healthcare at a distance. By listening to the experiences of those who use the technologies, as healthcare providers or as patients, Pols provides a much-needed balance to the usual focus on efficiency." -- Sally Wyatt, Director of the Netherlands Graduate School of Science,Technology and Modern Culture - "Care at a Distance lays out a variety of ways in which long distance health care may work. Written attentively and with a real sense of engagement, it also offers long distance care. Intellectual care this time. For you, the captivated reader." -- Annemarie Mol, professor of Anthropology of the Body at the University of Amsterdam; author of Ziek is het woord niet; The Body Multiple and The Logic of Care
