Drawing on the concept of resilient healthcare, this book explores multimodally embedded everyday practices of healthcare professionals in the UK and Japan, utilising novel technology, such as eye-tracking glasses, to inform what constitutes good practice.
Providing an interdisciplinary examination of the theories and rationales of resilient healthcare, the book engages with a range of case studies from a variety of healthcare settings in the UK and Japan and considers the application of advanced technologies for visualising healthcare interactions and implementing virtual healthcare simulation. In doing so, it showcases a number of multimodal approaches and highlights the potential benefits of multimodal and multidisciplinary approaches to healthcare communication research for enhancing resilience in their local contexts.
This edited volume examines in fine, visualized detail multidisciplinary healthcare teams by embracing a technology-assisted multimodal perspective across two cultural settings. Very befittingly, the authorship represents a diverse range of disciplinary backgrounds. In approaching healthcare systems as an ecological entity, the volume opens up a timely prospect for engaging with healthcare practice in complex environments - both theoretically and methodologically - and will serve as a useful analytical resource with its transparent writing style, graphics and terminological clarity.
