Digital Patients: A Typology of Emerging Patient Roles
نویسنده
چکیده
Applying four analytic lenses (consumption, communication, community, and responsibility) and three forms of agency (objectivation, activation, and engagement) this paper develops a conceptual platform for the analysis of the impact of health-care ICTs. It is argued that a closer study of applications within tele-medicine, health informatics, and e-health needs to take into account (changes in) patient roles to tie innovation to the act of health-care delivery. The typological multi-faceted concept of digital patient is suggested as an inspiration towards a continued and strengthened multi-disciplinary approach to research on and development of information systems within health-care.
