BACKGROUND The use of online communities to promote end user involvement and co-creation in the product and service innovation process is well documented in the marketing and management literature. Whereas online communities are widely used for health care service provision and peer-to-peer support, only little is known about how they could be integrated into the health care innovation process....

The powerful evolution of hardware, software and data connectivity of mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets) stimulates people to publish and share their personal data (like social network information or sensor readings) independently of spatial and temporal constraints. To do this, the development of an efficient semantic web collaborative editor for mobile devices is needed. However...

Co-creation is health professionals' and systems' development of health care together with patients and families. Such collaborations yield an exchange of values, ideas, and priorities that can individualize care for each patient. Co-creation has been discussed interchangeably with co-production and shared decision making; this article explores co-creation through the lens of quality improvemen...

This paper reports the results of a lab experiment designed to study the role of observability for peer effects in the setting of a simple production task. In our experiment, participants in the role of workers engage in a team real-effort task. We vary whether they can observe, or be observed by, one of their co-workers. In contrast to earlier findings from the field, we find no evidence that ...

Purpose This study aims to address the following three questions: What are main factors influencing co-creation behaviour among peers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform? key consequences of such behaviour? and that positively influence sense commitment P2P Design/methodology/approach used positivist paradigm scrutinise causal associations between scale validation configurations influential by usi...

The aim of the project we discuss in this paper is to develop a computational model of peer learning. We present an extensive analysis of peer learning dialogues, analysis on which our computational model is based. Our model incorporates shifts of initiative as an identifier of knowledge co-construction. We have embedded this model in a peerlearning agent that collaborates with students to solv...
