Navigating Digital Health Landscapes

Navigating Digital Health Landscapes explores how users navigate the internet when searching for health information. It is the first book to conceptualise the internet as a landscape and the ways in which people navigate this digital world, including the complex entanglements between on and offline domains. It does so through a range of disciplinary perspectives from expert contributors across STS (science and technology studies), social anthropology, biomedicine, ethics and law, linguistics, social policy and computer scientists working in more technical aspects of tracking and visualising data and information on the internet. The book provides a unique and valuable contribution for those wishing to understand how digital technologies are affecting the design, implementation and use of digital systems to manage health information in different contexts.

This handbook will raise awareness about the importance of health and well-being of people with disabilities in the context of the global development agenda: Leaving No-one Behind. There has been a growing discussion on how people with disabilities should be included in the global health landscape. An estimated one billion people have some form of disability, 80% of whom live in low- and middle-income settings. People with disabilities are more likely to be poor, with restricted access to health and social services, education, rehabilitation and employment. Despite this, people with disabilities are often overlooked in global health and development efforts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that unless systematically planned for and included in policies and programmes, people with disabilities remain at an increased risk of being adversely affected in times of humanitarian crisis and emergency disasters. Divided into eight sections: Disability and Health Frameworks Health Justice, Rights and Bioethics Gendering Disability Health Disability and Global Mental Health Disability and Access to Healthcare, Including Workforce Development Crises and Health Technology and Digital Health Disability, Ageing and Dementia Care This handbook covers the full range of topics pertaining to disability and global health including inclusive health; access to rehabilitation; global mental health and disability; medical training and disability; community based inclusive development for improving health and rehabilitation; maternal health and sexual reproduction; preventive care and health promotion for people with disabilities; health, disability and indigenous knowledges; bioethics and human rights; data protection; and health in the global south. It will be of interest to all scholars, students and professionals working in the fields of disability studies, health studies, nursing, medicine, allied health, development studies and sociology.

This book contributes to the emerging field of men’s health studies, delving into how men incorporate, adapt, negotiate, or reject health care practices to perform masculinities in social interactions. By moving beyond the simplistic association between men, masculinity and the adoption of ‘risky’ or ‘unhealthy’ practices, this book draws from recent critical perspectives on the study of men’s health, seeking to challenge and problematize the relationship between masculinities and health. The text presents original empirical findings derived from qualitative and digital research examining the different ways in which men (re)negotiate their masculinities after the onset of a chronic illness, focusing on diabetes as a strategic case study. Living with a chronic illness implies that those gender practices that are usually taken for granted suddenly become unachievable and impose a reconfiguration of the masculine self, as well as a negotiation of the very meaning of masculinity. The volume aims to critically examine this interactive process of (re)negotiation, while also reflecting on men, masculinities and their health on a more general level. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars in social sciences working on the intersection of gender and health, as well as for health professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the connection between men, gender and health.

In "The Art of Televasculobiomedicine 5,0" by Dito Anurogo and Niko Azhari Hidayat, a meticulous examination of the synergistic integration of telemedicine, vascular surgery, and biomedicine is adeptly presented. The narrative initiates with a foundational exploration, offering readers an evolutionary journey through the intricate landscapes of Televasculobiomedicine, marked by its preceding four developmental phases. Telemedicine is heralded for its revolutionary attributes in augmenting accessibility, amplifying efficiency, and engendering cost-effectiveness in healthcare. The authors navigate the complex domains of vascular surgery, concurrently unveiling the pivotal contributions of biomedicine. Pertinent discussions on artificial intelligence, nano-robotics, and 5G technology are seamlessly interwoven, exposing their profound potentialities and inherent challenges. Ethical imperatives, patient-centric approaches, data confidentialit, and universal standardization are underscored as cardinal elements. Additionally, an insightful discourse on the confluence of Televasculobiomedicine and health tourism is elucidated. The oeuvre projects an avant-garde vista of Televasculobiomedicine, accentuating the quintessence of international amalgamation. As a manifestation of Vascular Indonesia's assiduous endeavour and platform, i.e.: Vascular Indonesia Book Education Series (VIBES), this magnum opus resonates as an instrumental compass for aficionados and professionals navigating the multifaceted corridors of advanced integrative healthcare, echoing the harmonization of technological innovation with health, as envisaged in Indonesia's post-pandemic National Health Transformation through the perennial execution of Tri Dharma, extending its resonances globally.

The persistent challenge of inequitable access to quality services plagues diverse age groups, creating a glaring gap in our pursuit of inclusive well-being.

The disparities demand a comprehensive understanding of obstacles hindering inclusivity, setting the stage for a transformative solution. Inclusivity and Accessibility in Digital Health is a groundbreaking exploration that is a beacon of change in the healthcare narrative. This book transcends conventional boundaries, offering innovative frameworks, case studies, and empirical research. It delves into the transformative potential of AI and digital health, presenting actionable insights to tailor healthcare services, manage diseases, and elevate overall well-being. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this book inspires researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and tech enthusiasts to harness the power of technology for an inclusive healthcare revolution.
