How Algorithmic Technologies ‘Constitute’ the Older Body: A Study of Fall‐Detection Wearables
ABSTRACT The cultural politics of the ‘problematic’ ageing body have led to a search for solutions in the form of algorithmic technologies. In this article, we look at one problem associated with the ageing body—unintentional falls—and one proposed algorithmic intervention: wearable fall‐detection technology.
