E-Health: Potential, Pitfalls and Progress

E-Health represents the integration of information and communication technologies into healthcare, offering the potential to improve health outcomes through self-care, interactivity, and emotional support. This presentation by Elizabeth Murray, UCL's e-Health Unit Director, delves into the myriad possibilities of e-health, including cost-effectiveness and behavioral change. However, it also addresses the challenges of equity, effectiveness, and implementation, particularly in relation to alcohol consumption and the feasibility of interventions like DownYourDrink. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for advancing e-health solutions.
