We argue that overview is not a static feature of tech—it’s a situated achievement shaped by data work, professional roles, and organizational boundaries.

Thanks to our collaborator, reviewers & colleagues

SAMBLIK promises seamless data access. But overview isn’t just about access—it’s about trust, relevance, and context.
Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it adds to the burden. Sometimes it’s ignored.

Based on ethnographic fieldwork, we identify 4 enactments of overview via SAMBLIK:
1️⃣ Expedient overview
2️⃣ Glancing overview
3️⃣ Care-continuum overview
4️⃣ Non-overview
Each reflects different data experiences & clinical realities.

In Denmark, health data is in principle available across sectors. But many clinicians still feel the overview is missing.
We ask: What does “overview” actually mean in practice? And how is it enacted through data work?

🔍 New article out!
“All the data you need” – Striving for “Overview” in cross-sectoral chronic disease management.
Henriette Langstrup & I explore how digital tools like SAMBLIK shape care in Danish diabetes management.

A copy of the book 'Recalibrating Stigma: sociologies of health and illness' edited by Gareth M. Thomas, Oli Williams, Tanisha Spratt, and Amy Chandler. The front cover of the book depicts a person out at night, lit by the light from a lamppost and looking at posters pasted onto a brick wall that are in the style of the 'WANTED' posters famously associated with the Wild West era of American history. The word 'UNWANTED' has replaced the word 'WANTED'.

We started working on this in 2021 and there is *finally* a physical copy of the book in my hand. It feels great that other people can now read all the great work that's in this collection.

It is available as a free e-book and in paperback:

There have been attempts internationally, indeed. What I find interesting is how those experiences and knowledge might not be incorporated into a Danish context, with a lack of organisational support and ideas about prober practice which could reproduce diamental ways of doing PPI.

Exploring the hidden demands for patients’ resources: How health researchers risk excluding patients from patient and public involvement in health research during recruitment Patient involvement in health research is widely recognized to promote effective collaboration between health researchers and patients in endeavors to…

It's still a working paper - hopefully It will come out soon. While waiting for the paper to come out, you might be interested in reading more about tacit social expectations in who gets 'access': www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Just presented a working paper at #BSAmedsoc
Who gets socially on during PPI in health research?
My study of PPI at two Danish research panels often privileges white, middle-class citizens while working-class voices struggle with hidden barriers like academic jargon.

Hej Gritt! Jeg tænker at det kommer med tiden. Jeg ser at flere forskningscentre viser lokalt interesse for det - og så må vi lokalt give en hånd med at vise hvordan det er muligt at overfører ens opslag og de personer man fra Twitter hertil gennem!

(Image of a google doc; first line is title & in larger font) Speaking Out for Democracy and US Higher Education To add your name to this statement, go to https://bit.ly/DemocracyAndHigherEdSign We publicly affirm our commitment to the enterprise of higher education in a democratic and free society, and to the values and practices that facilitate the production, advancement, and sharing of knowledge. Given the continuous and escalating attacks on higher education along with many other pillars of American democracy by the Trump administration and its allies, we call on colleges and universities to protect these values. We affirm that: The democratic ideals of free thought, free speech, free association, freedom of assembly and the right to dissent are worth fighting for. Democracy both honors our dignity as individuals and enables collective action on behalf of the common good.

2. Education is a fundamental pillar of a democratic society. People come from all over the world to take part in the free exchange of ideas and the depth of knowledge and expertise found in US colleges and universities. The capacity and tools these institutions provide to think carefully and deeply about politics, society, and the built and natural worlds produce scholars and world citizens whose contributions benefit us all. The value of American education has long been a consensus position across parties and ideologies; both Democratic and Republican administrations have supported our system of higher education. 3. Diversity is essential. Democracy requires that we invest fully in the rich array of our differences. We affirm the fundamental dignity and value of each person of every race, ethnicity, national origin, class, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, legal status, religion, identity, ideology and viewpoint. Bringing together people with different experiences, talents, and perspectives is critical to a successful learning environment and ultimately benefits society as a whole. 4. Education, knowledge, and science are intrinsically worthwhile. They improve both individual lives and the collective well-being of a democratic society. Cutting funding risks inflicting lasting damage on scholarly inquiry, from work in the arts to social policy to life-saving medical research and care.

5. Academic freedom is necessary to the pursuit of knowledge. Research must be conducted free from political threat if it is to identify and develop ideas serving the human race. These ideas, turned into action, are critical elements of any functioning society, including the rule of law, medical care, and scientific advancement. 6. No amount of accommodation or compliance will protect us. The current attacks on higher education amount to an assault on the foundational principles of democracy. If we abandon our commitments to equality, pluralism, and free scholarly inquiry we turn our backs on the most essential ingredients to our democracy: reflecting on our past, pooling our present talents, and investing in our future. As scholars, educators, and people who care about our students and our democracy, we believe it is our duty to speak out against the attacks on diversity and pluralism, on scholarship and learning, on academic freedom, and on democracy itself. We are doing so through this statement, and will continue to do so on our campuses and beyond. We urge the leaders of America’s colleges and universities, and every American who believes in democracy and education, to stand up for the values we share. We call on college and university leadership to refuse to comply with the unethical, irresponsible and frequently illegal demands of the Trump administration; to join together to speak out in defense of the values of academic freedom, scholarship and research; to protect their students and faculty from government reprisals; and to fight attacks on our institutions in the public sphere and the legal arena.

A key step in fighting the Trump admin's attacks on higher education specifically and democracy more broadly is to say as clearly as we can that we share values that are meaningful and that we will not stand by while our institutions are destroyed.

Great to see you here, Daniel. (and your dog ofc!

So great! Could you add me :-)

Could you add me :-)

There is something about qualitative research that is not easily replaced by AI either! For example, with interviews, transcription models do often not include tonation, pauses and other important signifiers for a great interview.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Could you please add me :-)

Couldn't find a starter pack for #PublicInvolvement #PPI #Coproduction & participatory health and care research so I started one.
If you're not on this and would like to be and/or have suggestions of others to add let me know.
Or indeed if you know of a starter pack I've missed
