A qualitative study explored how Australians understand and use hospital feedback, focusing on Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMS). Most were unaware of PREMs. Presentation affected understanding. Improving PREMs communication could help consumers make informed choices.

A survey of WeChat users in China examined the impact of accidental exposure to information about COVID-19 vaccines on COVID-19 vaccination intentions. Health information scanning had a positive impact on attitudes, subjective norms & vaccination intentions.

We found that there are few options for consumers who want to learn how digital health tools and platforms work. Most websites we found focus on how to use digital health tools only. This lack of options makes it hard for consumers to join in digital health research.

In this study, we wanted to know if there are websites where consumers could learn about how digital health tools and platforms work. We ran a search on consumer and government websites. We counted how many times words about digital health appeared and in what context.

Health is going digital. Consumer representatives and advocates need to know about digital health to be involved in health research. To do this, they might need to learn about how digital health tools and platforms work.

New paper: "Upskilling consumers for the digital health era: a content analysis of resources for consumer representative training" highlights gaps in involving consumers in digital health research
