The popularization of the Internet, due in larger part to the
advent of multifunctional cell phones, poses new challenges for
health professionals, patients, and caregivers as well as creates
new possibilities for all of us. This comprehensive volume analyzes
how this social phenomenon is transforming long-established
healthcare practices and perceptions in a country with one of the
highest numbers of Internet users: Brazil. After an opening text
that analyzes the Internet and E-Health Care as a field of study,
the book comprises six parts. The first part introduces the
emergence and development of the internet in Brazil, its pioneering
experience in internet governance, digital inclusion, and online
citizen participation. The second part is dedicated to internet
health audiences by analyzing the cases of patients, the young, and
the elderly seeking and sharing health information online,
especially in virtual communities. The third part is dedicated to
the challenges that the expansion of the internet in healthcare
poses to all of us, such as the evaluation of the quality of health
information available online and the prevention of the risks
involved with online sales, cyberbullying, and consumption of
prescription medicines. The fourth presents some innovative
e-learning experiences carried out with different groups in Brazil,
while the fifth part analyses some practical applications involving
the Internet and health, including studies on M-Health, the
Internet of things, serious games and the use of new information
and communication technologies in health promotion. The last
chapter analyses the future of healthcare in the Internet Age. The
authors establish a critical and creative debate with international
scholarship on the subject. This book is written in a direct and
comprehensible way for professionals, researchers, students of
communication and health, as well as for stakeholders and others
interested in better understanding the trends and the different
challenges related to the social phenomenon of the internet in
health.
