Under the supervision of Prof. David Stark, Ph.D. student Joan H Robinson, will engage in archival research and interviews to investigate the regulatory framework for home diagnostics, looking in particular at how home diagnostics have contributed to the development of American legal frameworks of personal privacy and disclosure. Utilizing archival materials at the National Archives and those attained through the Freedom of Information Act, she will study the primary sources used by the Food and Drug Administration in their deliberation regarding the Medical Device Amendments of 1976. The Co-PI, who is trained as a lawyer, will also examine over one thousand case laws relating patent disputes and misuse of these technologies. Tools of self-diagnosis, from home HIV tests to monitors worn throughout the day, are becoming widespread. This research will increase our understanding of how home diagnostics are shaped by and shaping laws, attitudes and practices regarding privacy, disclosure, and surveillance.

在 David Stark 教授的指导下，博士。学生琼·H·罗宾逊（Joan H Robinson）将从事档案研究和采访，以调查家庭诊断的监管框架，特别关注家庭诊断如何促进美国个人隐私和披露法律框架的发展。她将利用国家档案馆的档案材料以及通过《信息自由法》获得的档案材料，研究食品和药物管理局在审议 1976 年医疗器械修正案时使用的主要来源。一名律师还将审查一千多个与专利纠纷和滥用这些技术有关的判例法。从家庭艾滋病毒检测到全天佩戴的监测仪等自我诊断工具正在变得越来越普遍。这项研究将加深我们对家庭诊断如何受到有关隐私、披露和监视的法律、态度和实践的影响和影响的理解。
