Participant Evaluation of Blockchain-Enhanced Women’s Health Research Apps: Mixed Methods Experimental Study

Participant Evaluation of Blockchain-Enhanced Women’s Health Research Apps: Mixed Methods Experimental Study

Once recorded on a blockchain, transactions are immutable (cannot be changed or deleted), existing in a verifiable and auditable manner that fosters transparency and trust [1,3]. While blockchain is best known as the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, the application of its properties in the health research sector can transform the ways we share, access, and use data [1,4].

However, it remains unknown whether users of these channels are significantly more likely to believe the misinformation and to trust specific geopolitical powers on a nationwide scale. Therefore, we examined associations between (2a) political trust and the 2 sets of misinformation, as well as associations between (2b) media use factors and the 2 sets of misinformation.

Prioritizing Trust in Podiatrists’ Preference for AI in Supportive Roles Over Diagnostic Roles in Health Care: Qualitative Interview and Focus Group Study

Prioritizing Trust in Podiatrists’ Preference for AI in Supportive Roles Over Diagnostic Roles in Health Care: Qualitative Interview and Focus Group Study

The literature on trust in AI highlights concerted efforts to foster trust by exploring strategies to address trust issues between AI systems and users. For example, some studies suggest that redefining AI as a supportive adjunct to professionals rather than a standalone solution could promote acceptance [9,10]. In addition, showcasing instances where AI surpasses human experts in specific tasks may enhance humans’ trust in AI [5,9,11].

Finding Consensus on Trust in AI in Health Care: Recommendations From a Panel of International Experts

Finding Consensus on Trust in AI in Health Care: Recommendations From a Panel of International Experts

In this paper, we focus on a central inhibitor of successful AI adoption in health care, namely, the low levels of user trust in AI systems [18]. Understanding and fostering trust in AI remains challenging, not only practically but also conceptually. Interpersonal trust constitutes a complex and contested construct in philosophy and social sciences [19-24]. Moreover, accounts diverge on what constitutes being worthy of trust, namely, on the definition of trustworthiness [19,20].

Privacy Concerns Versus Personalized Health Content—Pregnant Individuals’ Willingness to Share Personal Health Information on Social Media: Survey Study

Privacy Concerns Versus Personalized Health Content—Pregnant Individuals’ Willingness to Share Personal Health Information on Social Media: Survey Study

Previous research has demonstrated that users with greater privacy concerns regarding social media tend to have lower trust toward these platforms [36,38]. Therefore, we hypothesize the following: Hypothesis 1: For pregnant individuals, IUIPC will have a negative effect on their trusting beliefs. There is often an inverse relationship between trusting beliefs and risk beliefs because trust implies a firm belief in the reliability of something, while risk indicates the possibility of negative outcomes.

Digital Age Transformation in Patient-Physician Communication: 25-Year Narrative Review (1999-2023)

Digital Age Transformation in Patient-Physician Communication: 25-Year Narrative Review (1999-2023)

Misinformation can undermine the trust necessary for effective health care relationships, which is critical because trust influences patients’ willingness to follow medical advice and maintain open communication with their providers. For instance, the impact of social media on these relationships significantly varies based on the accuracy of the information and the preexisting relationship between patient and physician, which can range from positive to negative [18].

From Theory to Practice: Viewpoint on Economic Indicators for Trust in Digital Health

In 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) in the European Region stated that 77% of its Member States believe the lack of trustworthy sources to access effective medical apps is a substantial implementation barrier to digital health transformation: “Trust is paramount – trust in technology, trust in data protection and, most critically, trust in the respect and safeguarding of privacy rights pertaining to personal health data” [3]. Trust in public health systems legitimizes these activities.
