Hybrid e-health support was given to 11 insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) patients, with electronic support plus a multi-disciplinary health support team. Challenges were low ICT and health literacy. After 50 weeks, attractiveness and feasibility of the intervention were perceived as high: recommendation 9.5 out of 10 and satisfaction 9.6 out of 10. Technology acceptance model (TAM) surveys showed high usefulness and feasibility. Acceptance and health behaviours were reinforced by the prolonged health results: aerobic and strength capacity levels were improved at 50 weeks, plus health related quality of life (plus biometric benefits and medication reductions, reported elsewhere). Regarding e-health theory, we conclude that iterative skill growth cycles are beneficial for long-term adoption and e-relationships. Next, the design analysis shows opportunities for additional affective and social support, on top of the strong benefits already apparent from the direct progress feedback loops used within the health coach processes.

“…All of them provided written consent for inclusion in these (anonimized) study results. Most of them (n=7) had participated in a more general employee health support program (Simons, 2017) somewhere in the 11 years before this intervention. Inclusion criteria for participation in this 2-weeks intensive blood pressure intervention were: commitment to making lifestyle changes and participating in the various coaching and support formats, plus having hypertension stage 1 or 2, hence systolic pressure between 130 -179 or diastolic pressure between 80 -119.…”

There is widespread recognition that, during the process of digitalisation, much greater care is necessary in relation to the needs of individuals and society. One key area in which tensions exist is identity management. People think that their identities are intrinsic to themselves. Yet organisations represent themselves as 'provisioning' people with their 'identities'. In addition, the model of identity that organisations typically use evidences some important deficiencies. A fresh approach is needed to the model that underpins organisations' management of their relationships with people. This needs to be based on a deeper appreciation by designers of the nature of the phenomena that they seek to document and to exercise control over. A model of those phenomena is needed that is pragmatic, in the sense of fulfilling the needs of information systems (IS) practitioners and organisations, but also of the people whose data the organisation handles. It also needs to reflect metatheoretic insights. This paper presents such a model. It commences by drawing on ontology, epistemology and axiology in order to establish an outline metatheoretic model. The model is articulated, at the conceptual level and at the data modelling level. Initially, a relatively simple model is established, sufficient for inanimate objects and artefacts. The more complex requirements of humans are then addressed. It is contended that the resulting model provides a robust framework for identification and authentication in IS. 2 35 TH BLED ECONFERENCE DIGITAL RESTRUCTURING AND HUMAN (RE)ACTION R. Clarke: A Reconsideration of the Foundations of Identity Management 3 6 35 TH BLED ECONFERENCE DIGITAL RESTRUCTURING AND HUMAN (RE)ACTION EpistemologyThis section summarises analysis in Clarke ( 2021). Epistemology is the study of knowledge. Two contrasting conceptions of knowledge exist. The proposition of the first, 'empiricism', is that knowledge is derived from sensory experience, and is a body of facts and principles accumulated by humankind over the course of time, that are capable of being stored in the equivalent of a warehouse. This works well in circumstances where the Things represented by Entities are real rather than imaginary, and are inanimate, and their handling is largely mechanical. Examples include aircraft guidance systems and robotic production-lines.The other, 'apriorist' view is that that knowledge is internal and personal, and the concept is not applicable outside the mind of an individual human. Within this school of thought, knowledge is the matrix of impressions within which an individual situates newly acquired information.In order to cater for these two extremes, the term 'Knowledge' is best avoided, except when qualified by one of two adjectives:

“…Self-efficacy in health self-management has a lot of potential for healthier and happier aging (Greger and Stone, 2016;Bredesen, 2017;Bredesen et al, 2018;Ornish and Ornish, 2019;Willett et al, 2019;Simons, 2020Simons, , 2021Simons et al, 2022a). Moreover, many people value being empowered to increase their self-control, especially when faced with potentially debilitating health conditions (Simons et al, 2014(Simons et al, , 2017(Simons et al, , 2022a.…”

Globally, the burden of disease is rising. High performance employees and organisations need to improve their health self-management options and skills. Unfortunately, there are an overwhelming number (>500,000) of new health publications every year. We aim to design a health AI on top of Scholar Google, to support rapid employee do-it-yourself (DIY) health improvement. Thus, we analysed user requirements, based on design analyses for two cases: hypertension and type-2 diabetes (T2D), two major diseases of affluence in our society, which are reversible with healthy living. We show how a hybrid AI may empower employees instead of medicalising them. To conclude, we propose a next level of quantified self for worker health self-management.
