eHealth Research, Theory and Development: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach Van Hanneke Kip, Nienke Beerlage-de Jong and Lisette van Gemert-Pijnen is an English-language study book that provides a complete overview of the theory and development within eHealth. This book is intended for students in higher education and professionals in healthcare and technology.
As the first book to offer an extensive description of the social and technological context in which eHealth applications emerged, it highlights the underlying psychological principles and important development and evaluation issues. It covers how eHealth can be effectively used for both mental and physical health problems.
The book draws on the CeHRes Roadmap, a multidisciplinary framework that combines elements of human-centered design, persuasive technology and business modeling. With theoretical foundations, practical applications, cases, a glossary and summaries, it connects with fields such as health psychology, public health and design technology.
