What is the relationship between the Assessment of Technology in Context (ATIC) Lab and the ACTION for Health project?
The SFU ATIC Lab is based in the School of Communication, where the lab studies a number of different technologies in their situated contexts depending on research grants. The ACTION for Health project, on the other hand, has a narrower scope – it is funded to only study the social aspects of technology in the health sector. Since both teams are lead by Dr. Ellen Balka’s research, the two groups have temporarily amalgamated into one to share resources and expertise to facilitate research. That said, both groups are maintaining separate but inter-related identities: ATIC lab members not only contribute to the ACTION for Health project but are also responsible for projects specific to the ATIC Lab.
