"Digital health infrastructures: Between promising sociotechnical futures and challenges of environmental sustainability"

Rodessa’s dissertation reflects on the narratives that shape and influence the research infrastructure development within the digital health domain. Her research explores the competing values of advancing health research using digital technologies and the environmental sustainability challenges of digitalisation. She focuses on European research infrastructures to understand how digital health actors regard the environmental impact of their data practices and how they frame environmental sustainability visions for the health domain.
