“…Nevertheless, according to Woolley et al [4], 39% of U.S. internet users who searched for online health information did soon social networking sites. Sharma & Kaur [24] mention similar data regarding Internet users in the Asia-Pacific region. There is also evidence of growing use of Facebook and YouTube by health institutions [25].…”

Today many people use social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Despite extended research on the use of social media for health-related issues, little research attention has been devoted to understanding the goals and needs behind such use and its effects on health behavior. The goal of this study is to fill this research gap by employing Uses and Gratifications theory and Media System Dependency theory. The data for this study were collected through six focus groups of internet users in Israel. The findings show that people utilize a number of social media sites for health purposes, according to specific needs and goals. These needs and goals motivate individuals to choose timing, search language and search topics and to establish criteria for assessing the quality of information and its publishers. The social media is perceived to influence health behavior on different levels.

“…Sharma and Kaur [34] studied how effective social media has been proven to be in disseminating health information and to what extent methods to advance ontology have been helpful in extracting relevant knowledge from the large amount of healthcare data. Since ontology is a knowledge 7 engineering for the decomposition of knowledge in a specific problem domain, this study uses ontology to analyze the health care procedure, in order to develop an algorithm for cloud computing [35]. Azevedo et al [36] presents an ontological analysis of the concepts introduced in that proposal, focusing in particular on the resource, capability and competence concepts.…”

“…This means that IoT could be used for a complete cloud computing health service model (Software as a Service ， SaaS; Platform as a Service ， PaaS; Infrastructure as a Service，IaaS). IoT has an active role in integrating sensors, machines and computing as an information conduit, to develop computing and content for cloud computing and health care and management [35].…”

Background: Healthcare involves the maintenance or improvement of health via diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, or other physical and mental impairments. During the past decade, there has been a proliferation of research on health information technology (HIT), which shows that HIT is essential for improving the quality of mobile healthcare and management.Objective: The smart-healthcare industry is a growing market that uses new technologies for the mobile healthcare and management field. The provision of more precise service solutions will allow smart healthcare and management strategies to be deployed in the healthcare industry.Methods: Thus, this study gives theoretical and practical insights into an ontology-based cloud computing approach in the mobile healthcare and management context. Results:Depending on the characteristics of the variable content, these data formats are defined as category data variable and numerical data variable (Table 1). These health evaluation factors also have a threshold value for each factor in Table 2, which determines the health status. Conclusions:This increases the understanding of the creation of value using a cloud computing business model and opens new paths for the development of a business case for healthcare providers.

“…[13] Social media is now widely used for searching for health information. [14] Gender has always been a focus of attention in studies on health and the Internet. Such studies referred both to gender differences in health-related use of the Internet [15] or social media [16] and to health-related Internet use by women in particular.…”

Women use the Internet more for health purposes than men, probably due to their gender socialization as caregivers. Indeed, women’s use of social media for health is not a one-time occurrence but is expected to continue for a long time to come. Hence, it is important to understand women’s future intention to use social media for health purposes. This study integrated health empowerment, health beliefs and digital inequality perspectives to explain this intention among Jewish female social media users (N = 94). The data were collected through a telephone survey. The results indicated that searching for health information on social media and cues to action are consistent predictors of women’s intention to use social media for health purposes. With the exception of marital status, no effect of socio-demographic variables was found. Health empowerment approach and health belief model are, therefore, the best predictors of future intention to use social media for health. Women should be encouraged by their communities to expand their experience with social media, since it may serve as a source of health empowerment. In addition, they must be encouraged to be more attentive to internal or external stimuli in maintaining or changing their health behavior.
