"An engaging introduction to an exciting multidisciplinary field where positive impact depends less on technology than on understanding and responding to human motivations, specific information needs, and life constraints." -- Betsy L. Humphreys, former Deputy Director, National Library of Medicine This is a book for people who want to design or promote information technology that helps people be more active and informed participants in their healthcare. Topics include patient portals, wearable devices, apps, websites, smart homes, and online communities focused on health. Consumer Healthcare Informatics: Enabling Digital Health for Everyone educates readers in the core concepts of consumer health informatics: participatory healthcare; health and e-health literacy; user-centered design; information retrieval and trusted information resources; and the ethical dimensions of health information and communication technologies. It presents the current state of knowledge and recent developments in the field of consumer health informatics. The discussions address tailoring information to key user groups, including patients, consumers, caregivers, parents, children and young adults, and older adults. For example, apps are considered as not just a rich consumer technology with the promise of empowered personal data management and connectedness to community and healthcare providers, but also a domain rife with concerns for effectiveness, privacy, and security, requiring both designer and user to engage in critical thinking around their choices. This book’s unique contribution to the field is its focus on the consumer and patient in the context of their everyday life outside the clinical setting. Discussion of tools and technologies is grounded in this perspective and in a context of real-world use and its implications for design. There is an emphasis on empowerment through participatory and people-centered care.

Abstract: The emergence of the library as a focal point for dissemination of health information is the basis of a manual for librarians and information providers. The changing social environment that supports medical consumerism and the need for health information are discussed. The role of the library in meeting this need and the legality of providing health information to the lay person are addressed. Seven library-based consumer health education programs operating in a variety of institutional settings in the U.S. and Canada are described. A number of program functions are analyzed in depth. An overview of health information networking activities, a list of services, and publications of major federal health information clearinghouses are given. A discussion of the application of mass media and modern technology to health promotion illustrates the considerable accomplishments in this emerging new area of library and community service. (emc).
