Summary: A fascinating discussion with UK-based digital anthropologist Lydia Nicholas. We talk about the problems of digital news (and healthcare) bubbles and the problems about constructing a digital space for those who are vulnerable or not digitally native. In the process we touch on the problems surrounding the UK’s much troubled care.data initiative and the issues raised by the relationship between Google Deep Mind and the Royal Free hospitals. But, we also touch on the optimism underlying future initiatives being baked into the UK’s version of a learning healthcare system.
