A wide array of eHealth interventions that rely on information and communication technologies (ICT s) to provide medical solutions on a global scale have emerged in recent y ears. This talk addresses the theoretical and practical challenges present ed by such developments. I draw on an ethnography of the Pan-African e-Net work\, a network connecting health centres located across the African cont inent with tertiary care hospitals in India. An integrated solution aimed at caring for patients at a distance\, the Pan-African e-Network enacts a digital opening of the clinic and reconfigures the spatiality of healthcar e delivery. However\, this opening up is not a matter of straightforward e mancipation. Contrary to widespread conceptions of networks as enabling fl uid\, seamless circulation of data and expertise\, my analysis of the Pan- African e-Network exposes its embeddedness\, plasticity and the sheer mate riality of concrete practices. This research aims to examine how digital m edia forge new relations between space\, technology\, and clinical practic e. Ultimately\, it points towards new horizons of intelligibility within w hich human lives come to take shape as objects of knowledge and interventi on.\n\nAbout our speaker:\n\nVincent Duclos is a Steinberg Global Health P ostdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Social Studies of Medicine at McGi ll University.
