Overview of the Workshop
The Internet has an important role in the provision of reliable,
relevant and timely health information for the public and patients.
Traditionally, authoritative health information has been based on
facts and figures, not the experiences of patients. However the rise
of patient-generated content on the Internet, in the form of online
patient experiences (PEx) has changed the landscape of health
decision-making. Online PEx can have both positive and negative
influences - PEx can enhance social support, and facilitate adjustment
to an illness but can also raise anxiety levels and in an unmoderated
format can deliver very powerful but misleading messages. PEx is
important for researchers and e-health designers alike and in this
workshop we seek to bring the new PEx community together to share new
approaches and findings.
We are inviting 2-4 page papers for consideration for this workshop.
Submissions should be sent to Dr. Phoenix Mo
([log in to unmask]), by the 1st May 2011.
