Abstract
  • Internet is changing how people receive health information and health care. It is a rich source of information, but it is unregulated. Some information is wrong, while other information is confusing for vulnerable people. Online support and discussion groups can provide comfort and valuable information, however, the Internet cannot replace face-to-face contact with health professionals. These risks are currently raising important cultural, social, economic and political issues which merit a comprehensive investigation involving social and technological sciences. The MIDIR project considers the role of the Internet to the access and diffusion of the health information. In particular the project studies this theme using an integrative and multidimensional approach. The study examines the risk related to the access and interpretation of health information. The study spotlights the importance to understand how patients utilise this information. Some patients actively search information to assume more responsibility for their health, others search information in consequence of confidence failure in health care provision. Afterwards the study intends to develop new theoretical frameworks and methodologies: - to explore the technology-society relationship in the context of health care settings; - to analyze the risk re lative to Internet health-commerce. The research results will contribute to the debate about the education needed to support health care consumers. (literal)
