Modelling the Predictors of Mobile Health (mHealth) Adoption among Healthcare Professionals in Low-Resource Environments
This study was conducted with objectives to measure and validate the unified theory of the acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model as well as to identify the predictors of mobile health (mHealth) technology adoption among healthcare professionals in limited-resource settings. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at the six public and private hospitals in the two districts (Lodhran and Multan) of Punjab, Pakistan. The participants of the …
Integrating Social and Family Support as a Measure of Health Outcomes
(1) Background: Health literacy (HL) is one of the key determinants of health and healthcare outcomes. The objectives of this study are to measure and validate Sørensen et al.'s integrated model of health literacy (IMHL) in a developing country's youth population, as well as to assess the impact of family affluence and social and family support on healthcare domains. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out of undergraduate universit…
Covid-19 Misinformation Online and Health Literacy
Low digital health literacy affects large percentages of populations around the world and is a direct contributor to the spread of COVID-19-related online misinformation (together with bots). The ease and ‘viral’ nature of social media sharing further complicate the situation. This paper provides a quick overview of the magnitude of the problem of COVID-19 misinformation on social media, its devastating effects, and its intricate relation to digi…
Geographical tracking and mapping of coronavirus disease Covid-19/severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (Sars-CoV-2) epidemic and associated events around the world
In December 2019, a new virus (initially called ‘Novel Coronavirus 2019-nCoV’ and later renamed to SARS-CoV-2) causing severe acute respiratory syndrome (coronavirus disease COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and rapidly spread to other parts of China and other countries around the world, despite China’s massive efforts to contain the disease within Hubei. As with the original SARS-CoV epidemic of 2002/2003 and with seasonal influ…
Virtual Worlds, Collective Responses and Responsibilities in Health
Virtual worlds are an exciting area offering opportunities in clinical teaching and interventions. Clinicians and academics alike may approach these emerging opportunities with enthusiasm or scepticism. Attitudes towards applying virtual worlds in clinical practice may arise from a number of sources, facilitating a more or less positive view towards this media. Virtual worlds have the potential to provide a considerable amount of control to the e…
Connectivity for Healthcare and Well-Being Management
Technological advances and societal changes in recent years have contributed to a shift in traditional care models and in the relationship between patients and their doctors/carers, with (in general) an increase in the patient-carer physical distance and corresponding changes in the modes of access to relevant care information by all groups. The objective of this paper is to showcase the research efforts of six projects (that the authors are curr…
Web 3D for Public, Environmental and Occupational Health
Over the past three years (2006-2008), the medical/health and public health communities have shown a growing interest in using online 3D virtual worlds like Second Life(R) (http://secondlife.com/) for health education, community outreach, training and simulations purposes. 3D virtual worlds are seen as the precursors of 'Web 3D' , the next major iteration of the Internet that will follow in the coming years. This paper provides a tour of several …
The perceived impact of location privacy
The clash between PID requirements - including granular geography - and limitations imposed by privacy and its associated bureaucracy require immediate attention and solutions, particularly given the increasing utilisation of GIS in public health. Solutions include harmonization of privacy legislation with public health requirements, bureaucratic simplification, increased multidisciplinary discourse, education, and development of toolsets, algori…
A cultura colaborativa e a criatividade destrutiva da Web 2.0

Mashing, Burning, Mixing and the Destructive Creativity of Web 2.0
Examinamos o recente crescimento do software1 interativo (Web 2.0), seu primeiro impacto no ensino, e apresentamos uma análise de algumas pesquisas, conduzidas nos últimos tempos, que avaliam suas aplicações pedagógicas. Salientamos a tendência dos estudantes a serem criativos e destrutivos ao utilizarem softwares interativos, particularmente wikis2, web logs (blogs3) e outros ambientes de rede baseados em textos. As atividades dos estudantes nes…

Musings on the State of '3-D Virtual Worlds for Health and Healthcare' in 2009

Pitfalls in 3-D Virtual Worlds Health Project Evaluations
This 'think-piece' proposes to avoid evaluation trials comparing 3-D virtual worlds and the flat Web, and to instead investigate and evaluate the two modalities as different but complementary and synergistic media rather than as competing media trying to replace one another
