Contents:
Introduction -- The Visual Touch Regime: 3D Image-guided Robotic Surgery and 4D & "5D" Scientific Illustration at Work -- New Technologies in British Pharmacy Practice -- Patients' Perceptions of a Home Telecare System -- A Framework for Future Studies of Personalised Medicine: Affordance, Travelling, and Governance of Expertise.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This book reports cutting-edge cases of emerging health technologies. Some health care fields are experiencing paradigmatic shifts because of robotic technologies and the new relationships that they create in r-Health (r-Curing and r-Caring) activities. The book explores emerging health care technologies such as image-guided surgical robotics, pharmacy robots, new visualisation methods (3D, 4D & "5D") and home telehealth management systems and their acceptance in the workplace but also, more generally, their special role in business and society. These technologies allow health care professionals to effectively reach far beyond the current service offerings, providing new methods for communication, diagnosis, and treatment. The relocation of certain knowledge areas from physicians to patients in self-care management or the reconfiguration of health care expertise from one health profession to another are examples of topics developed in this book. The book describes the emerging relocation of innovative visual knowledge and expertise within health care organisations and beyond, such as in the patient's home environment.
