PhD thesis Title: Minority Report on Mobile Health Technologies
Summary:
Claudia Maria Bagge-Petersen’s PhD thesis explores how mobile health smartphone applications (mHealth apps) are designed and attuned to children and young people that live with chronic illness in Denmark. Though mHealth apps are deemed promising for improving children and young people’s illness management , the evidence for such apps’ success in integrating into the everyday life of this group as well as in improving health outcomes is mixed. Through a multi-method ethnographic study on how children and young people live with chronic illness, and how mHealth design projects target this group, the analysis contributes to our
understanding of the kinds of troubles that attuning mHealth apps to particular circumstances of children and young people can imply in a Danish setting.
The PhD defense will be held in English
The Section for Health Services Research will host a reception after the defense.
