Abstract
The evolution of the internet as a conduit to deliver healthcare has made inevitable the democratisation of healthcare. Understanding how individuals use and structure web resources, and the emergent properties that may arise from these interactions, is mandatory to make sure that no harm is done. Conversely, transforming positively patient experience of their health and wellbeing and improving health outcomes is the overarching objective.
Medicine 2.0 is already recognised as a major contributor to this aim. Health Web Science however, is an emerging discipline and a subfield of Web Science. Health Web Science seeks to understand and describe how the web shapes and is shaped by medicine and healthcare ecosystems. It explores how the web and the range of web oriented technologies can be engineers to support health, medicine, healthcare, including health improvement and medical research. Health Web Science has a role to play in making personalised, predictive, preventative, and participatory medicine a reality. Health Web Science therefore compliments and overlaps with the discipline of Medicine 2.0.
This panel will not only describe a healthcare ecosystem, but will provide examples and a framework for future direction to explore the relationship between Health Web Science and Medicine 2.0 in transforming patient healthcare experience benefitting patients and the health service.
Andrew Fowlie, General Manager of Primary Care and Health Innovation, NHS Grampian, will provide an overview of the political e-health perspective in Scotland and infrastructure subsequently developed in the Highlands and Islands to achieve novel solutions to the problems of the current model of healthcare. Grant Cumming, Honorary Senior Lecturer, University of Aberdeen, will discuss where Health Web Science meets Medicine 2.0 drawing on examples. Sandra MacRury, Professor of Diabetes, University of the Highlands and Islands, will discuss her experience of using internet based technologies to deliver diabetes care. Tara French, Lecturer of Psychology, University of the Highlands and Islands, will provide data on a range of e-health projects and patient perspectives on using the internet as conduit for health. Lynn McHattie, Research Fellow, Glasgow School of Art, will outline a framework for a new methodology applicable to the marriage of Health Web Science and Medicine 2.0. Elizabeth Brooks, Subject Network Leader, University of the Highlands and Islands and a member of the Faculty of Web Science, will lead a discussion on the reproducibility and scalability of the proposed framework.
