- More about The Digital Health Self: Wellness, Tracking and Social Media
The digital age has transformed our understanding of health management, shifting from a public welfare state responsibility to individualised practices of digital self-care and lifestyle correction on social media. Neoliberalism and digital technology play a significant role in dictating wellness as a moral obligation. Rachael Kent critically analyses how users navigate relationships between self-tracking technologies, social media, and everyday health management.

The digital age has brought about significant changes in the understanding of health management, transforming it from a public welfare state responsibility to individualised practices of digital self-care. This shift has been marked by the promotion of healthy lifestyles through state initiatives and health tracking tools, as well as narratives of wellness online. Today, health is increasingly associated with 'lifestyle correction' performed on social media, reflecting the influence of neoliberalism and digital technology. Rachael Kent's analysis critically examines how users navigate relationships between self-tracking technologies, social media, and everyday health management, highlighting the pervasive role of neoliberalism and digital technology in dictating wellness as a moral obligation.
