The taxonomy of human goals in technology development
Background Digital health innovations increase the options to enhance care practices, such as providing support in the complex task of organizing timely and appropriate care for long-term care recipients. Aiming to provide directions for technology development, this study investigated the needs of care recipients, specifically those facing cognitive challenges. We used a taxonomy of human goals to identify what long-term care recipients and careg…
Health-Related Lifestyle Communication in Oncology
A healthy lifestyle, particularly having a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and abstaining from alcohol and smoking, is important for the recovery process of cancer survivors. The extent and form in which lifestyle information is provided by healthcare providers varies substantially, which could leave many patients with unmet information needs. To better understand current practices and areas for improvement in communicating about these …
The ethics of using virtual assistants to help people in vulnerable positions access care
People in vulnerable positions who need support in their daily lives often face challenges in receiving timely access to care; for instance, due to disabilities or individual and situational vulnerabilities. There has been an increasing turn to technology-mediated ways to improve access to care, which has raised ethical questions about the appropriateness and inclusiveness of digitalising care requests. Specifically, for people in vulnerable posi…
Perceived benefits of diet, physical activity, alcohol intake and smoking among cancer survivors
A healthy lifestyle can have various health benefits for cancer survivors, including positive effects for their general health and cancer-specific outcomes. In general, cancer survivors adhere more to smoking and alcohol recommendations, compared to diet and physical activity recommendations. To better understand the differences in benefit perceptions among the four health behaviours, we conducted a cross-sectional study among 197 Dutch survivors…
Unequal experiences, unequal outcomes? Digital inequalities in experiencing online benefits and privacy harms, mistrust, and self-inhibiting behaviors
Digital inequality research shows that certain sociodemographic groups (e.g., older persons) experience fewer benefits from using digital technologies (e.g., not finding useful information). While disadvantage is typically conceptualized as not experiencing benefits, users also experience online harms (e.g., unauthorized access to personal information), which have been largely ignored. Better understanding of systematic differences in online expe…
Just-in-time” but a bit delayed
As food choices are increasingly made in contexts such as online supermarkets, nudging has been extrapolated to the digital sphere. Digitalization poses unique opportunities to enhance the promotion of healthier food choices online: Digital nudges can be delivered "just-in-time" (JIT), in response to the initial selection of an unhealthy product. Furthermore, digital JIT nudges can be personalized to match user characteristics of behavioral relev…
Patient Perspectives on a Digital Assistant for Medication Reconciliation
Medication reconciliation, the process of documenting a patient’s medication, is currently a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. To make medication reconciliation more efficient, digital assistants (DAs) offer a promising solution. Especially since human-like digital interfaces tend to be appreciated by more vulnerable populations such as patients in a low socioeconomic position (SEP). Despite the potential of DAs for low-SEP populations …
Instrumental, Affective, and Patient-Centered Communication Between Cardiologists and Patients with Low Socioeconomic Status
One of the essential elements in managing health is having adequate communication with health care providers. Unfortunately, patients with a low socioeconomic status (SES) often experience less adequate communication with their doctor. In the current study, we explore and compare the communication of both doctors and patients from lower and higher sociodemographic backgrounds on three factors: instrumental, affective, and patient-centered communi…
R” you getting this? Factors contributing to the public’s understanding, evaluation, and use of basic reproduction numbers for infectious diseases
Although evaluative labels and visual aids did not facilitate people's understanding and evaluation of the r-number, our results show that the statistic is perceived as useful and may be used to stimulate adherence to preventive measures. Policy makers and public health communicators are advised to clearly explain why they are giving these numbers to - especially - the less numerate people, but also how people could use them for behavior change t…
Un-tracking menopause
Self-tracking in general, and by women in particular is increasingly researched. In the literature, however, women's interactions with selftracking technologies in menopause-a change that (almost) every woman will go through-is largely taken for granted. This paper addresses this lacuna by asking whether and how menopausal women use self-tracking technologies, and how this (non-) usage mediates their self-experiences. In doing so, it elaborates o…
Skype or Skip? Causes and Consequences of Intimate Self-Disclosure in Computer-Mediated Doctor-Patient Communication
Advances in computer-mediated communication have created both opportunities and challenges for online doctor-patient communication. Based on the privacy calculus and objective self-awareness theory, we examined the causes and consequences of intimate self-disclosure in video consultations. We performed a 2 (verbal intimacy) × 2 (physical intimacy) online experiment among a large representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 2,251). Structura…
The International Encyclopedia of Health Communication
The definitive collection of topics currently being studied in the rapidly growing field of health communication The International Encyclopedia of Health Communication presents a thorough overview of a dynamic field, bringing together entries by an international panel of contributors that address a comprehensive range of recent and emerging topics. With a global and interdisciplinary focus, this timely resource addresses cutting-edge digital tech…
Predictors of contact tracing app adoption
Contact tracing apps (CTAs) have been introduced as a means to identify and isolate possible cases infected with COVID-19. Since the adoption rate determines the effectiveness of CTAs, it is important to examine what factors contribute to a higher CTA uptake. This study aimed to use an integrative approach to explain early CTA adoption, whereby three perspectives are distinguished: technology-related (derived from the Unified Theory of Acceptance…
How Algorithmic Systems Changed Communication in a Digital Society
This thematic issue invited submissions that address the opportunities and controversies related to algorithmic influence in a digital society. A total of 11 articles address how the use of algorithms has changed communication in various contexts, and cover topics such as personalized marketing communication, self-tracking for health, political microtargeting, news recommenders, social media algorithms, and urban experiences. The articles also in…
Vulnerability in a tracked society
While data-driven personalization strategies are permeating all areas of online communication, the impact for individuals and society as a whole is still not fully understood. Drawing on Facebook as a case study, we combine online tracking and self-reported survey data to assess who gets targeted with what content. We tested relationships between user characteristics (i.e. socio-demographic and individual perceptions) and exposure to branded cont…
Improving Visual Behavior Research in Communication Science
Eye tracking offers researchers an opportunity to collect an objective assessment of visual behavior. Visual behavior—referring broadly to metrics and measures of gaze positioning and movement—has been used to assess variables including exposure time, cognitive processing, prominence, and (visual) attention. Over the past decade, communication science researchers have increased their use of eye-tracking methods in published articles. During that …
Understanding the Effects of Personalization as a Privacy Calculus
The privacy calculus suggests that online self-disclosure is based on a cost–benefit trade-off. However, although companies progressively collect information to offer tailored services, the effect of both personalization and context-dependency on self-disclosure has remained understudied. Building on the privacy calculus, we hypothesized that benefits, privacy costs, and trust would predict online self-disclosure. Moreover, we analyzed the impact…
Differences in mobile health app use
This article provides a more differentiated understanding of mobile health consumers, and considers whether health app use may contribute to new digital inequalities. It focuses on factors associated with mobile health app use, and identifies which factors explain the use of different types of health apps. Data from a large representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 1,079) show that mobile health app users were generally younger, higher e…
Tailoring the Mode of Information Presentation
Previous studies have mainly focused on tailoring message content to match individual characteristics and preferences. This study investigates the effect of a website tailored to individual preferences for the mode of information presentation, compared to 4 nontailored websites on younger and older adults' attention and recall of information, employing a 5 (condition: tailored vs. text, text with illustrations, audiovisual, combination)×2 (age: y…
