“…Similarly, Belanger and Crossler (2011) stated privacy concerns as the desire of individuals to control or have some influence over data about themselves. Different types (e.g., medical, financial, & consumer) and levels (e.g., individual, group or organizational) of the information privacy have been documented to show its impact on individuals' perceptions and behavioral intentions (Ambrose et al 2012;see Smith et al 2011 for a review). For example, medical and financial lnforrnatlon is considered more sensitive by consumers than the information about their life characteristics and shopping preferences (Nowak et al 1992;Sheehan et al 20(0).…”

Businesses are paying increasing attention to engaging mobile phones users through location-based services (LBS). LBS on mobile phones presents a tremendous opportunityfor businesses to market their products and services. However, using LBS may pose privacy concerns for consumers. An understanding of what facilitates consumers to adopt LBS on their mobile phones and how privacy concerns may inhibit their adoption would help marketers promote LBS services more effectively. A research model was developed based on the technology acceptance model. We augmented the model with privacy concerns and emotional reactions to LBS. Specifically, we investigated whether and how perceived usefulness, ease of use, affective values, and privacy concerns influence consumers' behavioral intentions to adopt LBS and to spread positive word-of-mouth about LBS. Based on data collected from an online survey of 176 potential LBS adopters, we tested the research model using structural equation modeling. The results suggest that perceived usefulness, affective values, and privacy concerns have significant impacts on LBS adoption intentions, whereas only perceived usefulness and affective values influenced the intentions to spread positive word-of-mouth. Practical and theoretical contributions are discussed

“…Prior work on health infomediaries includes establishing definitions for health infomediaries and their attributes (Vega, DeHart, & Montague, 2011); qualitatively exploring inhibitors and motivators (Ambrose & Basu, 2012); classification of user categories (Yim et al, 2015); and trust, privacy, and information use issues with infomediaries (Lim & Kim, 2012). Existing studies allude to the need for knowledge sharing and the role of user empowerment in this process (Khuntia et al, 2017;Marabelli, Newell, Krantz, & Swan, 2014).…”

Knowledge sharing in a health infomediary: role of self-concept, emotional empowerment, and self-esteem

et al. 2018

Health infomediary systems are emerging as important knowledge sharing platforms that help patients manage their own health outside of traditional health care delivery models. Patients participate in health infomediaries to learn from other patients' experiences and knowledge. Knowledge sharing is an important aspect of the success of a health infomediary. Factors related to self-concept have been widely studied in the domains of psychiatry and psychology, in settings such as mental health and behavioural well-being, but remain unexplored in the digital health context. In particular, it is not known how self-concept influences knowledge sharing behaviours in health infomediaries. This study posits that self-efficacy, social identity, and self-stigma drive knowledge sharing in an infomediary through emotional empowerment and appearance-contingent self-esteem. We use the health belief model as a foundation to propose a two-stage model and testable hypotheses. We used secondary archival data of 222 patients participating in a health infomediary specialising in reconstructive surgery. Analyses using structural equation modelling and econometric methods support the hypotheses. Findings broadly suggest that there are distinct paths through emotional empowerment and appearance-contingent self-esteem that can motivate users to contribute knowledge in health infomediaries. We explain the managerial insights and contributions of our study.

“…Ambrose and Basu [2] express that cyber-attacks are the most frequent causes of medical data breaches. Medical institutions collect and preserve patient data on their systems in databases such as those on their websites, electronic medical recording (EMR) systems, order communication systems (OCS), and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS); thus, data security is closely linked to cybersecurity [3]- [7].…”

Survey: Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities, Attacks and Solutions in the Medical Domain

et al. 2019

Recently, an increasing number of cyber-attacks in the medical field has resulted in great losses in the health care industry, since medical information plays an essential role in human health. To introduce a comprehensive survey about possible cyber-attacks and solutions for these attacks, our paper first presents a brief overview of the necessary background of the dataflow in the medical domain and then identifies the vulnerabilities in each stage of the dataflow. Then, according to the weaknesses identified in the medical system, a classification of cyber-attacks is presented. Additionally, the paper presents research on previous work that focuses on solving these cyber-attacks and identifies the strengths and limitations of the solutions for each attack. More importantly, for data storage assurance, our paper discusses several cybersecurity architectures for the medical domain from the existing literature. The countermeasures from previous papers and architectures that are still weak in terms of resource depletion, attack reduction, applicability, etc. are addressed. Finally, the paper discusses and recommends solutions for future work to decrease cyber-attacks in the medical field so that human health can be guaranteed.
