Abstract: | This article examines the use of sociology of translation as a way of integrating the classical rational and gradual view of innovation, indicating its capacity to produce accounts of innovation by utilizing the approach to study the establishment and mainstreaming of cardiac telecare in northern Italy. It is concluded that this way of studying and narrating innovation is specifically capable of bringing back time, effort and politics into the account of the innovation process. |
