HEALTH SERVICES ON THE NET –
WHAT'S GOOD FOR ME? WHAT'S BAD?
AND HOW DO I TELL THE DIFFERENCE?
(Panel session)
15TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WWW/INTERNET (ICWI)
MANNHEIM, GERMANY
OCT 28, 2016
HTTP://INTERNET-CONF.ORG/
The physician´s
perspective
IN THREE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 1 – 2 – 3
What is the difference
between searching the web
and consulting a physician?
QUESTION &ANSWER 1:
The web only answers
Keep in mind: answer quality depends on what you ask.
„If you expect wise answers, you have to ask sensible
questions“1
1 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Link)
1:
But the physician also asks
And he may ask sensible questions to find a personalised
differentiated diagnosis.
1:
The
net only
reacts
Results depend on user´s search
skills and health literacy.
IN OTHER WORDS:
The
physician
interacts
Results depend on doc´s
experience, sense and sensibility.
Artificial intelligence (AI) &
allgorithms try to immitate and
play doctor...
1:
...but fail:
IN RESPONSE TO “I AM HAVING A HEART ATTACK,” “MY HEAD
HURTS,” AND “MY FOOT HURTS.” ONLY SIRI GENERALLY
RECOGNIZED THE CONCERN, REFERRED TO EMERGENCY
SERVICES, AND IDENTIFIED NEARBY MEDICAL FACILITIES.
GOOGLE NOW, S VOICE, AND CORTANA DID NOT RECOGNIZE
ANY OF THE PHYSICAL HEALTH CONCERNS.1

About Mental Health, Interpersonal Violence, and Physical Health. JAMA Intern Med. 2016;176(5):619-625.
doi:10.1001/jamainternmed.2016.0400 (Link)
1:
How is quality of health
information on the net?
QUESTION &ANSWER 2:
Very heterogenous and
difficult to specify.
But..
2:
...the overall quality is
dissatisfying.
That´s for sure!
.
2:
A TEAM OF PHYSICIANS ANALYSIED 100 HEALTH ADVISING
WEBSITES ON 24 CRITERIAS (E.G. COMPLETENESS, MEDICAL
EVIDENCE, FAIR BALANCE OF INFORMATION, INDICATION OF
SOURCES).
KEY RESULTS:
• MORE THAN 30 % WHERE RATED AS
„POOR“ OR „VERY POOR“
• THE AVERAGE SCALE WAS „FAIR“ (4)
Source: Central Krankenversicherungen AG (Editor), Praxis Dr. Internet – Studie zum Kranheitssuchverhalten in Deutschland sowie zur
Qualität von Gesundheitsinformationen im Internet (Link)
Scale Website count
1 (Very good) -
2 (Good) 9 websites
3 (Satisfactory) 34 websites
4 (Fair) 24 websites
5 (Poor) 30 websites
6 (Very poor) 3 websites
Who is the provider and what
might be his intension?
ALWAYS CHECK WHEN USING A WEB SERVICE:
Even wikipedia is struggeling
for acceptance as a reliable
source
Sources:
The Guardian, Is Wikipedia a reliable source for medical advice? (Link)
Hasty RT et al.. Wikipedia vs Peer-Reviewed Medical Literature for Information About the 10 Most Costly Medical Conditions. J Am
Osteopath Assoc 2014;114(5):368-373. doi: 10.7556/jaoa.2014.035. (Link)
Mühlhauser I et al., Does WIKIPEDIA provide evidence-based health care information? A content analysis, Z. Evid. Fortbild. Qual. Gesundh.
wesen (ZEFQ) doi:10.1016/j.zefq.2008.06.020 (Link)
Wikipedia; Reliability of wikipedia (Link)
Why physicians do not
recommend websites or
health apps to their patients?
QUESTION &ANSWER 3:
Because they don´t know
them?
3:
Mostly YES.
(And the commonly given answer.)
3:
But main
(& mostly unknown)reason is:
3:
They can´t
prescribe them!!
Lack of certifications means:
recommending an app is a
legal grey area
So they better keep hands off!
3:
A physician´s
controversial conjective
CONCLUSION OUT OF 1 – 2 – 3
The net and
the healthcare sector are
parallel universes…
…WITH A LOT OF MORE OR LESS WEAK
CONNECTIONS IN BETWEEN.
CONTRARY TO ALL EXPECTATIONS & STATED
POTENTIAL, THE NET´S OVERALL CONTRIBUTION
TO HEALTHCARE PROVISION IS STILL LOW.
CONTOVERSIAL CONJECTIVE:
Thank you!
