Consumer Experiences of Responsibilization in the Context of Digital Healthcare Services
We study consumers’ experiences of increasing responsibilization in the context of online therapy services. We find that responsibilization ushers in a new subjectivity of "empowered consumer" that conflicts with the previously internalized subjectivity of consumer-patient. We detail how our informants engage in various practices of reflexivity to reconcile this conflict.
