“…Wagner, Hassanein y Hedad (2010) afirman que, en este caso, los estudios sobre el uso de computadores deben ser multidisciplinarios por definición y que el aprendizaje de esas tecnologías debe medirse con escalas especiales para este público. La importancia de conocer las necesidades de los usuarios para la comunicación en salud ha sido subrayada tanto en el ámbito de la salud (Wright, Williams & Wilkinson, 1998) como por metodologías participativas para aumentar la eficacia de las iniciativas en salud que, de lo contrario, suelen emplear a las tecnologías desde modelos difusionistas, de mera transmisión de información experta o desde el marketing en salud (Díaz & Uranga, 2011). Evaluaciones sobre experiencias de TIC en salud en adultos mayores, como la de Duckki, Helal, Anton, de Deugd y Smith (2012) recomiendan persuadir y motivar su participación en actividades de autocuidado, recurriendo a sistemas de comunicación que permitan su conexión en una red social, pues valoran que se facilite su ingreso a comunidades en las que puedan recibir o intercambiar datos relacionados con la mantención y recuperación de su salud.…”

“…Measuring unmet need is also a way of identifying stroke service deficiencies 95 and this may enable effective commissioning and provision of services. Assessment of needs can be defined as the ability to benefit from health (or social care) 96 and unmet needs may be defined as 'expressed needs that are not satisfied by current service provision' (p. 1052).…”
