Lim Jumelle, Ai Keow; Thuemmler, Christoph
Abstract
Internet-based health interventions are behavioral treatments aim at changing behaviors to promote healthy living and prevent diseases and illness. This paper first discusses the benefits and effectiveness of Internet-based health interventions. It continues to explore the opportunities and challenges of Internet-based health interventions made possible by the Future Internet and emerging technologies. Identifying the psychological and social barriers can help to improve the delivery of healthcare interventions in a number of ways, including assuring privacy and security, building trust and promoting equal access. Addressing these barriers can ultimately lead to greater acceptance of new technologies and improved health outcomes.
