"An engaging introduction to an exciting multidisciplinary field
where positive impact depends less on technology than on
understanding and responding to human motivations, specific
information needs, and life constraints." -- Betsy L. Humphreys,
former Deputy Director, National Library of Medicine This is a book
for people who want to design or promote information technology
that helps people be more active and informed participants in their
healthcare. Topics include patient portals, wearable devices, apps,
websites, smart homes, and online communities focused on health.
Consumer Healthcare Informatics: Enabling Digital Health for
Everyone educates readers in the core concepts of consumer health
informatics: participatory healthcare; health and e-health
literacy; user-centered design; information retrieval and trusted
information resources; and the ethical dimensions of health
information and communication technologies. It presents the current
state of knowledge and recent developments in the field of consumer
health informatics. The discussions address tailoring information
to key user groups, including patients, consumers, caregivers,
parents, children and young adults, and older adults. For example,
apps are considered as not just a rich consumer technology with the
promise of empowered personal data management and connectedness to
community and healthcare providers, but also a domain rife with
concerns for effectiveness, privacy, and security, requiring both
designer and user to engage in critical thinking around their
choices. This book's unique contribution to the field is its focus
on the consumer and patient in the context of their everyday life
outside the clinical setting. Discussion of tools and technologies
is grounded in this perspective and in a context of real-world use
and its implications for design. There is an emphasis on
empowerment through participatory and people-centered care.
