Technogenarians studying health and illness through an ageing, science, and technology lens

Technogenarians investigates the older person's experiences of health, illness, science, and technology. It presents a greater theoretical and empirical understanding of the biomedical aspects of aging bodies, minds, and emotions, and the rise of gerontechnology industries and professions. A unique scholarly investigation into elders as technology users Emphasizes the need to put aging, science, and technology in the center of analyses of health and illness Explores the rise of gerontechnology industries and professions Offers a critical study of the transformation of aging bodies, minds, and emotions into medical problems in need of medical solutions Combines two scholarly areas - Science and Technology Studies and the Sociology of Aging, Health, and Illness - to produce innovative scholarship -- Provided by publisher.

  • ""Science and technology have become central to the daily experiences of health and illness for older people, from pharmaceuticals to walkers and cell phones. This has resulted in the 'technogenarian'- the technologically savvy older person. The authors investigate elders' experiences of health, illness, science, and technology; they emphasize the need to put aging, science, and technology in the centre of analyses of health and illness. Technogenarians adds theoretical and empirical depth to our understanding of two concurrent trends: firstly, the biomedical aspects of aging bodies, minds, and emotions, including the development of anti-aging or longevity medicine; and secondly, the rise of gerontechnology industries and professionsƯ, who largely accept the aging processes and who provide technology to assist the changes brought on by ageing. By investigating elders' experiences of health, illness, science, and technology, Technogenarians theorizes how and where these two trends overlap and differ in relation to ageism, health, and illness"--"
