Abstract
⺠Biomedical goods and services for consumers have proliferated in North America. ⺠Domestication describes the movement of biomedical goods and services into homes. ⺠The home pregnancy test is a domesticated health tool. ⺠Consumption of domesticated goods and services can be theorized as work. ⺠Domestication refers to a set of user practices, not just a place.
