DARE — Policy work package

Data and the Healthcare ‘Revolution’ – DARE for short – explores the intersection of data, care and learning in the era of data-driven transformations in healthcare. It is a 5 year research project at the University of Edinburgh, selected for funding by the ERC and funded by UKRI.Our goal is to specify the relations between data, care and learning at multiple scales: the home, the hospital, the nation state, the policy arena. We ask:What kinds of work are required to produce learning in healthcare at the intersection of clinical care, research and informatics?How are data practices and care related to each other in this new configuration?How are new forms of data and care work constituted by and constitutive of the specificities of time, place and personhood?We work with scale not as a matter of measurement, from small to big, but of different points of perception; we might say, scales of attention. In this study, ‘home’ and ‘nation’ are not endpoints on any absolute scale, but rather they are enfolded in each other – something which the comparative nature of the project allows us to explore both empirically and theoretically.DARE was selected for funding by the European Research Council (ERC) and is funded by UKRI through a Frontier Research Grant [Ref EP/Y027620/1].
