“…These are not unique to wearable health montoring devices, and a number of these are discussed in [22]. In [9], the importance of preserving user privacy in e-health systems is discussed in greater detail. In particular, within the context of e-health services, Hong et al state that "people who use the internet for healthrelated reasons have the right to expect that personal data they provide will be kept confidential".…”

“…[9] Similarly, in order to ensure that users are not adversely affected by any future policy updates, users would be proactively notified by email if the privacy policy were to be updated in the future. The updated policy would take effect from a date in the future, offering users a period of time in which they may remove their account from the service, along with all their data, if they do not agree to the updated policy, and would prefer to have their data removed.…”

With the recent rise in popularity of wearable personal health monitoring devices, a number of concerns regarding user privacy are raised, specifically with regard to how the providers of these devices make use of the data obtained from these devices, and the protections that user data enjoys. With waterproof monitors intended to be worn 24 hours per day, and companion smartphone applications able to offer analysis and sharing of activity data, we investigate and compare the privacy policies of four services, and the extent to which these services protect user privacy, as we find these services do not fall within the scope of existing legislation regarding the privacy of health data. We then present a set of criteria which would preserve user privacy, and avoid the concerns identified within the policies of the services investigated.

“…An arbitrary survey of popular health websites showed that many health websites display accreditation logos to supposedly show their compliance with ethical standards. However, a recent study found that only 66% of the websites that displayed the HONcode logo of the Health on the Net Foundation were actually in full compliance [8]. It is very likely that the remainder of these websites only showed the logo to create an illusion of credibility.…”

Abstract-TheInternet is an ideal tool for promoting public health goals of prolonging life, health, and improving the quality of life. There are many websites with health-related information where one can go to as an information source, for health advice, or selfdiagnosis. However, these health websites require a more acute awareness of ethical issues due to potential life threatening risks from misuse of information. Providing disclaimers and accreditation logos only goes so far in covering potential legal conflicts, but fulfilling ethical obligations for non-maleficence requires more action on our part. As such, the content lifecycle of these websites requires greater emphasis on privacy, security, and trustworthiness. We propose and give a high-level description of a Health Content Management System (HCMS) that addresses both the managerial, as well as the ethical issues with health content. Surveys of existing health websites and content management systems demonstrate the need for the proposed system. Moreover, the novelty of the proposed HCMS is appraised and asserted in comparison with similar health framework concepts. Our contributions include survey results of more than 50 health websites, taxonomy of health websites' characteristics, discussion about legal versus ethical obligations, and a blueprint for typical and novel features for health websites. Moreover, this study presents a new approach to analysing health content via lifecycles.

“…The quality of the information on the Internet is not uniform and is often inaccurate, which increases the vulnerability of the patient (Eysenbach et al, 2002). Patients face security and privacy issues (Hong et al, 2008). And access is usually unequal.…”

Abstract * This paper summarizes randomized experiment to study the effects of an Internetbased intervention on type 2 diabetes patients in Montevideo, Uruguay. The intervention consisted of a specially designed website and an electronic social network where participants were able to navigate freely, download materials, and interact with other diabetics and with specialists. No significant impact was found on participants' knowledge, behavior, or health outcomes. It was also found that only a minority of patients logged on to the website, and most were only reached by email and mobile text (SMS). Participation in the website is correlated with patients' characteristics, such as gender, marital status, and education. Terms of use: Documents inJEL classifications: I1, O31, C93
