Abstract
The paper makes a case for the use of Sociology of Translation as a way of integrating the
classical rational and stepwise view of innovation, showcasing its capacity to produce accounts
of innovation that are process oriented, sensitive to contextual conditions, and attentive to its
political, conflictual, and institutional aspects. It does so by utilising the approach to study the
establishment and mainstreaming of cardiac telecare in Northern Italy.
Building on the results of a three year longitudinal study, the paper describes the process
through which this innovative approach carved a space within the existing texture of medical
practices by enrolling in successive waves a range of allies and support. The detailed narration
brings to the fore some crucial aspects of the local processes of negotiation and struggle, and,
more in general, the work and effort that goes into the making of any innovation. The paper
concludes that this way of studying and narrating innovation is particularly apt at bringing back
time, effort, and politics into the account of the innovation process.
