This book has now been published by Palgrave Macmillan. It is based on my research into the sustainability of telehealth services between 2016 and 2020 in Australia and Brazil. :

• Explores the mechanisms influencing telehealth services in the context of the Australian and Brazilian universal healthcare systems and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Examines how technology supports separated care through a discussion of contemporary fears and beliefs about technology, organisational issues and the sociotechnical codes that align medical practice.
• Concludes that provision of telehealth services as a part of a new normal for healthcare will depend on how we collectively shape the use of technology.

This book investigates if the technology used by telehealth services shapes our healthcare, and how can we, as humans, collectively change and shape the technology and services used in healthcare. Based on extensive field research on telehealth services in Australia and Brazil, it reveals some surprisingly obvious conclusions about our powers to shape the societies we live in. The book is available in electronic and print formats.
