English abstract:
Technology is seen as the critical enabler for moving care out of clinical settings into patients´ hands and homes, and for empowering people to be active in their own health and well-being. This presents a radically different design space for health IT and for health practice; it fundamentally challenges our notions of patient, clinician, care and home. I´d like to reflect on some of these challenges and ask how we can design technologies that fit into our lives and deliver value to both the people who use them and their care providers
