Dear SSJ members,

I am delighted to share the release of the anthology on "Humans and Devices in Medical Contexts: Case Studies from Japan". This volume explores the ways in which socio-technical settings in medical contexts find varying articulations in a specific locale. Focusing on Japan, it consists of a detailed theory chapter and nine case studies on topics concerning: experiences with radiation in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukushima; patient security, end-of-life and high-tech medicine in hospitals; innovation and diffusion of medical technology; and the engineering and evaluating of novel (robotic) devices in clinical trials.
