  • Digital methods in healthcare research have been steadily gaining ground but, until recently, were superseded by conventional face-to-face approaches wherever possible. However, the COVID-19 pandemic rendered in-person forms of data collection largely impossible, propelling digital approaches to the forefront. This book offers a digital lens in the participatory perspective of ethnography, a qualitative methodology. A series of chapters from internationally distinguished and rising authors present digital platforms and techniques and apply these to a wide range of healthcare studies. The authors highlight the different aspects of digital research approaches as well as reflecting on and proffering digital approaches to qualitative research for the future. Will these new digital health techniques be embraced, or will researchers be keen to revert to the traditional methods? With its unique approach, this is an invaluable resource for both prospective and experienced qualitative researchers in a broad array of medical and health disciplines.

  • The discipline of agent technology is becoming a mature research area, both from a scientific and an engineering perspective. Strong theoretical and empirical analysis, together with practical experience of deploying systems to solve real problems, give this community the opportunity to make an impact in the world of business. At UKMAS'98, a panel of academics and industrialists met to discuss exactly how this could be done; how could agents and multi-agent systems be used to actually make money?
