How Health Care moves on the Web: the case of Health Social Network
Abstract
The paper focuses on health social network, as websites where patients can find medical information at a number of different levels –since services offered range from emotional support to self-tracking and to clinical trial access. To monitor them, in 2005 the World Health Organisation (WHO) founded the Global Observatory for eHealth (GOe), with the scope to certify health-care-on-the-web through an ethical code (HON, Health On the Net). It has been realized in order to facilitate the distribution of useful and reliable information on the web among citizens. Moving from a previous empirical contribute, and subsequently revised with the additionof a new area based to a set of items referring to economic and relational returns, we have carried out a research aiming atinvestigating potential relations between the rating and the economicand relationalbenefitsgained by an eHealth website. In addition, through descriptive and correlation analyses,it has been possible to weigh the attributes (referring to theeconomicand relational returns) due to the positioning of a website.
