How is digitalization transforming healthcare communication, and how is it reconstructing patienthood? Published by Routledge and co-authored by Sinikka Torkkola and Anna Sendra Toset, Healthcare and Patient Communication in the Digital Era: A Patienthood and Patient Perspective examines the digitalization of healthcare communication through empirical case studies from three viewpoints: illness or the perspective of patients, disease or the perspective of healthcare professionals, and sickness or the perspective of society. Overall, the book outlines how the sociocultural understanding of patienthood is altered by the ways digitalization is changing healthcare communication.
