Reimagining illness through post-COVID-19 condition: the need for radically interdisciplinary health research

The project therefore aims for a better understanding of post-COVID-19 condition as a complex health challenge through interdisciplinary research. [...]this approach is expected to contribute to growing work in our own centres and elsewhere to show that studies of experience, context, and co-production in science, medicine, and society have legitimate traction in interdisciplinary knowledge production about health and illness. Post-COVID-19 condition is also an important index case because of its origins in patient experience followed by the rapid development of clinical research. In one subproject we examine lived experiences, characteristics, and pathophysiology of fatigue associated with post-COVID-19 condition through an analytic design that combines a clinical assessment in rehabilitation medicine, a neuroradiological assessment, an immunological assessment, and a qualitative phenomenological analysis based on interviews with people with post-COVID-19 condition and severe fatigue.
