- This book derives from ten years of collaboration between EU and US researchers in the field of human/technical care relations. Ethnographies of telecare, direct-to-consumer genetic testing and fertility monitoring; participant observation of stress monitoring and a series of deliberative citizens’ panels make up the body of data. The three funded research programmes required successive ethical reviews, ongoing management of and care for data. Using the wider framing of ‘biosensing’, Living Data critically examines the care implications of these sociotechnical systems, and theorises what it means to generate, platform, and live with, data about bodies.
