Description

This scholarly collection brings together cutting-edge research by historians from Britain, Germany, France, the US, Japan and New Zealand, examining how medical innovations spread and faced resistance across the twentieth century. The volume takes an innovative approach to the history of medicine and technology, exploring not just technological advances but also the social, organisational and cultural factors that shaped their adoption. Contributors analyse issues including professional power, economic constraints, control and compliance, cultural divides, and the ways users adapted technologies to their needs. The introductory essay contextualises the collection within the broader history and sociology of innovation, asking fundamental questions about what makes medicine and health distinctive fields. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in the Social History of Medicine series, this work offers historians, medical scholars and technology researchers valuable insights into how medical practice actually changed during the modern era.

Part of Routledge's Studies in the Social History of Medicine series, this work bridges history, sociology and medical studies for scholars examining twentieth-century healthcare transformation.
