Abstract
This paper is a call to study how we attune differently to the care technologies
(tech) we live with as a means to design them better. Care tech
fiddles with our most intimate relations and vulnerabilities. People have
different experiences, dreams, desires, and action potentials, and if they
cannot attune to a care tech, the care tech will not work as intended or
even cause pathogenic vulnerability. The first part of the paper develops
this argument, while the second part analyses three design cases and
sketches an approach of deeply situated design as a potential answer to
the call.
