Abstract
In this participatory action research project, we studied the process of practice in high-tech modern medicine as a particularly powerful domain in which integration of science, technology, body and personhood needs to take place. We posit that this integration demands a conceptual evolution of a static concept of health into a concept of health that is based on the ability to adapt and self-manage. There are different level of learning about living with high technology modern medicine, including from the patient perspective learning about own body, learning to live with the machine, learning to live with uncertainties, and, from the physician perspective, to understand the relationship between supporting the patient in developing a new sense of self, for technology to be completely integrated in the patient's life, past, present, future and self and the ownership over the specific critical health decisions with its physiological manifestation and course.
