ConferencesNone Yet Accepted AbstractsMedicine 2.0'09 (Toronto, Canada)From expert-driven to user-oriented communication of infection control guidelines Background: Currently, infection control protocols are more expert-driven than user-centered. In order to become more usable, protocols should externalize healthcare workers’ (HCWs) tacit knowledge, which is context-dependent and made up of practical and experiential wisdom of individual HCWs. Objective:Based on a user-centered design process, we developed a web-based tool that facilitates HCWs with applicable infection control guidelines that enable them to deliver safe health care. ... Medicine 2.0'10 (Maastricht, NL)The Status Quo of EHealth Use in Physical Therapy: a Systematic Review Background: Due to an increase of patients with some form of chronic disease, health care costs will rise, and availability and continuity of care are difficult to sustain at the current level. In physical therapy, this increase of patients is or will be felt too. Applying ehealth in a physical therapy setting may offer means to guide patients in a low-cost, efficient way. However, challenges exist in reaching and sustaining compliance and use. Objective: With this review we investigate in ... Participatory Development for Human Centred and Value-Driven eHealth Technologies Today’s healthcare system faces problems such as aging, a growth in multimorbidity, a serious decrease in the number of available personnel, and a limited budget. Technology could contribute to the solution of these problems by supporting a better balance between self-care and professional care. Current demands by ‘e-patients’ to manage their own health and well-being may be met by technological interventions. From systematic reviews and empirical-based studies, we know that the upt... Medicine 2.0'11 (Stanford University, USA)A Wiki for Collaborative Development in eHealth eHealth technologies may contribute to solve some serious challenges to global health and health care. As of yet the impact of eHealth technologies on healthcare practice is rather small compared to investments and professional expectation. In our research we have identified five major clusters of causes: a) inadequate research methods, b) lack of knowledge about the process of technological innovation, c) a skewed medical expert-driven approach to eHealth technologies, and d) the use of inap... Medicine 2.0'12 (Boston, USA)Citizens’ Information Consumption and Needs During an Infectious Disease Crisis: An In-depth Study of (2.0) Media Use During an Ehec Outbreak Background In May 2011, Germany was hit by an outbreak of the EHEC bacteria. This bacteria (mostly transmitted via the consumption of contaminated foods) can cause abdominal cramps, (bloody) diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Most people get well within ten days, but in some cases an EHEC infection leads to Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS), and possibly, death. The outbreak led to a lot of worry among the general public. Social media are often praised because of their valuable contribution in ...
