Abstract
Digital health apps and platforms (DHAPs) are touted to deliver numerous benefits to health consumers, including increased awareness of one’s own health. However, whether DHAPs accrue better consumer health outcomes is yet to be ascertained. Learning about one’s health condition is one of the most important aspects of self-health management. In this study, we draw from various disciplines such as psychology, communication and sociology and identify the processes that underlie learning in DHAPs. Using the context of a Comprehensive Digital Self-care Support System (CDSSS) named ‘myHESTIA (my Healing Ecosystem for Self-care and Therapeutic Integration for the Aging),’ we describe the features that promote learning. Given the lack of an existing scale to measure learning as an outcome in DHAPs, we propose a new scale to assess learning and report on an ongoing study to validate the scale. Implications of the DHAP learning framework for research and practice are discussed.
