Ep 32 - Care and Technology: Empowering Families as Collaborators in Healthcare

Host Raj Sundar continues the conversation with Tanja Ahlin, a researcher and anthropologist. They delve into the complex dynamics that arise when family members bring their own healthcare knowledge into the mix. As a family medicine physician, I've come to realize the significance of this phenomenon and the valuable insights that family members can offer.

Join us as we explore the concept of care collectives and how digital technologies have facilitated communication and support for transnational families.
