Wk 6: Future
Preparation

Preparation for lectures:
The WHO defines e-health as the electronic exchange of health-related data collected or analyzed through electronic connectivity to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery (World Health Organization, 2016). e-Health is often implemented to let people live a longer self-supporting life, give them more freedom, change their lifestyle or support them by setting goals and enhance people's autonomy. Examples of these technologies are: activity trackers, apps, websites etc.
Before implementing e-Health into your intervention, the following dimensions should be considered:
1. The user who is going to use the application. This could be the patient but also the caretakers or other health professionals.
2. The process in which you implement the application. What do you want to reach by this and how do you want to do it?
3. The technology should be used for the purpose it was developed . It should be reliable and suitable for your target group.
Watch the full video below to see an example of an application that did not consider these dimensions.
