This increased digital involvement in disease control has offered the prospect of heightened effectiveness in all of the above, but not without raising other concerns. This paper contributes to ongoing discussions of the digital transformation in disease control by proposing a materialist analysis of how such control has become operative and what its effects may be, both now and in the future. Using Taiwan's digital pandemic response as a case study, the paper explores specific ways in which material processes and arrangements have shaped digital measures, as well as the actions that rendered such measures operable, with their ensuing consequences. This analysis illustrates the importance of historical, material and technological specificities and contingencies to our understanding of how digital disease control takes a particular shape. It also demonstrates how shifting regimes of practice continually reconfigure the ways in which digital disease control functions. The paper argues that paying greater attention to the materialities of digital disease control can provide a more nuanced understanding of the complex ways in which society may be protected or harmed by its use, possibly simultaneously. It is hoped that such increased attentiveness may inform more considered and careful preparation for subsequent pandemics. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/20539517221097315","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T06:22:07Z","timestamp":1653459727000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Materialities of digital disease  control in Taiwan during COVID-19"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5380-4991","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sung-Yueh","family":"Perng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Science, Technology and Society, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2589-7500(20)30133-3"},{"volume-title":"Memory Practices in the Sciences","year":"2005","author":"Bowker GC","key":"bibr2-20539517221097315"},{"issue":"68","key":"bibr3-20539517221097315","first-page":"42","volume-title":"New Formations","volume":"2009","author":"Braidotti R","year":"2009"},{"key":"bibr4-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0083672"},{"key":"bibr5-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/19540"},{"key":"bibr6-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2043820620933860"},{"key":"bibr7-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2043820620929797"},{"key":"bibr8-20539517221097315","volume":"4","author":"Dourish P","year":"2014","journal-title":"Computational Culture"},{"key":"bibr9-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2053951716665128"},{"key":"bibr10-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7551\/mitpress\/10999.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr11-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/acprof:oso\/9780199671533.003.0005"},{"key":"bibr12-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0095133"},{"volume-title":"Program Earth: Environmental Sensing Technology and the Making of a Computational Planet","author":"Gabrys J","key":"bibr13-20539517221097315"},{"key":"bibr14-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2053951716673391"},{"key":"bibr15-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7551\/mitpress\/9302.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr16-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2056305115603080"},{"key":"bibr17-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1057\/s41292-016-0004-5"},{"key":"bibr18-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/hs.2016.0107"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr19-20539517221097315","first-page":"64","volume":"8","author":"Jyan H-W","year":"2020","journal-title":"Public Governance Quarterly"},{"key":"bibr20-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13562576.2020.1770587"},{"key":"bibr21-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/421123"},{"key":"bibr22-20539517221097315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1600910X.2015.1020066"},{"key":"bibr23-20539517221097315","unstructured":"Lee C-L (2020, April 22) Taiwan\u2019s proactive prevention of COVID-19 under constitutionalism.
