这个特别的专著问题建立在健康和疾病的社会学学术和扩展的分析镜头来检查老年人，医疗保健专业人员，和技术设计师如何创造，使用和修改科学和技术来协商和定义健康和疾病。老年人绝不是被动的消费者，他们是技术一代，创造性地利用和调整诸如助行器和药物等技术人工制品，以满足他们的需求。本出版物增加了理论和经验的深度，以我们对围绕老龄化身体和老龄化企业的多重和重叠的社会历史背景的理解，包括老龄化的生物医学化，包括抗衰老或长寿医学的兴起；老年科技产业和专业的兴起——这些领域在很大程度上接受身体衰老是必然的。这个集合从社会学的角度调查了这两种趋势在老龄化和年龄歧视的全球背景下是如何重叠和分歧的，并呼吁在这一领域进一步的学术研究。将科学和技术研究与健康和疾病社会学框架结合起来，提供了一个经验基础，可以据此分析行动中的技术世代以及参与老龄化、健康和技术矩阵的利益攸关方和机构。
This special monograph issue builds on sociology of health and illness scholarship and expands the analytical lens to examine how old people, healthcare professionals, and technology designers create, use, and modify science and technology to negotiate and define health and illness. Far from passive consumers, elders are technogenarians, creatively utilising and adapting technological artefacts such as walking aids and medications to fit their needs. This publication adds theoretical and empirical depth to our understanding of the multiple and overlapping socio-historical contexts surrounding ageing bodies and ageing enterprises, including the biomedicalisation of ageing that includes the rise of anti-ageing or longevity medicine; and the rise of gerontechnology industries and professions -- fields that largely accept the ageing body as a given. This collection sociologically investigates how and where these two trends overlap and diverge in relation to a global context of ageing and ageism, and calls for further scholarship in this area. Combining science and technology studies and sociology of health and illness frameworks together provides an empirical basis from which to analyse technogenarians in action, as well as the stakeholders and institutions involved in the ageing, health, and technology matrix.
