Advances in Interdigital Health Illiteracy 2.0
No full textAim of this study is to evaluate what challenges do social media users who underwent heart transplant encounter when discussing severe medical conditions in Health 2.0 contexts, particularly when poor levels of Interdigital Literacy are observed. The new "Interdigital Communication Theory" is discussed (Murero, 2012) ABSTRACT: http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2012/paper/view/1048
Medicine 2.0 congress remains the annual main event, and is the top-rated conference in the field, with international participation and a peer-reviewed research stream, a practice stream, and a business stream. The Medicine 2.0 network has over 3.000 member
Relazioni Interdigitali di Salute e Pandemia. Sperimentazioni e valutazioni socio-istituzionali
No full textLa pandemia da Sars_Cov2 ha focalizzato l’attenzione sulla resilienza del SSN (Vicarelli e Giarelli, 2020). Di particolare interesse per la Covid Age sul potenziamento e la riorganizzazione, in chiave di Community Care (Bulmer 1992; Murero e Rice, 2006; Ridolfi 2013, 2014), dei servizi sanitari di medicina territoriale. Lo scritto si sofferma sulla sperimentazione delle Unità Speciali di Continuità Assistenziale (Usca) precisandone funzioni, vicenda attuativa e criticità. Si pone l’accento su: a) accelerazione della salute digitale in Italia durante la pandemia, b) trasformazione interdigitale (Murero, 2012, 2014) della dimensione individuale /collettiva nelle relazioni sociali di salute e infine c) sul futuro della telehealth, tra Usca e nuova medicina territoriale
E-prescribing: Turning Innovation Aging Failure Into Success for Oncological Patients During Covid-19 pandemic
No full textInternational evidence shows several benefits of the "dematerialization" of medical prescription (e-prescribing) for stay-at-home elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, particularly in countries where digital health practices are already diffused (Koster et al., 2020; Craston et al., 2020; Urik et al., 2020). During the COVID-19 pandemic, newly introduced e-prescribing protocols in Italy aiming at avoiding contacts at the point of care and relying on user's availability of using ICT fail to reach the digitally illiterate, fragile, stay-at-home older population in great need of medications. This study presents original empirical findings (n=104) showing that interdigital agents' "invisible" work, securing medication availability to old people during the pandemic, may turn innovation aging failure into success. E-prescribing appears to affect social health relations by a) changing places of access to care (avoiding doctors' offices during the pandemic), b) creating new socio-tech networked connections among family doctors, patients, and caregivers, particularly when fragile stay-at-home patients suffer from an oncological condition and need chronic medication and care. Previous literature showed the importance of situational practice and informal work supporting aging care (Miele et al., 2020; Fornasini et al., 2016; Bruni e Gherardi, 2007) besides "formal" regulation. Building on the theoretical work of Mol (praxiography, 2002, 2010) and Murero (interdigital communication theory 2006, 2012), the presentation investigates with an ethnographic approach how e-prescription modifies trajectories (Glaser and Strauss,1968) and family care re-organization (Riemann and Schütze, 1991) around older people disproportionally affected by COVID-19 severe complications (Mueller et al., 2020)
