In the field of health care and prevention, there has been a progressing penetration of assistive health services such as personal health records, supporting apps for chronic diseases, or preventive cardiological monitoring. In 2020, the range of personal health services appeared to be almost unmanageable, accompanied by a multitude of different data formats and technical interfaces. The exchange of health-related data between different healthcare providers or platforms may therefore be difficult or even impossible. In addition, health professionals are increasingly confronted with medical data that were not acquired by themselves, but by an algorithmic “black box”. Even further, externally recorded data tend to be incompatible with the data models of classical healthcare information systems.From the individual’s perspective, digital services allow for the monitoring of their own health status. However, such services can also overwhelm their users, especially elderly people, with too many features or barely comprehensible information. It therefore seems highly relevant to examine whether such “always at hand” services exceed the digital literacy levels of average citizens.In this context, this reprint presents innovative, health-related applications or services emphasizing the role of user-centered information technology, with a special focus on one of the aforementioned aspects.MedicinebicsscfeverFeverAppecological momentary assessmentuser behaviorsociodemographic characteristicsregistryguidelinesfeasibilityusabilityroutine health information systemhealth management information systemhealth system performancemachine learningdigital healthregistry analysisClinicalTrials.govdevice regulationnew information technologyTechnology Acceptance Model (TAM)institutioninstitutionalismdigital informaticshuman–computer interactionpersonal health informaticsconsumer health dataconsumer health informationself-trackingquantified selfmHealth appstelemonitoringtelemedicinetelecardiologycardiologywearablesensorsconsumer health devicescardiovascular diseaseheart failureatrial fibrillationmental healthpsychiatrypsychiatric recordpsychiatric notespatient accessible electronic health recordPAEHRopen notespoliciesCOVID-19technology acceptanceuser surveywearable health monitorECG patchpersonal electronic health recordstechnology adoptionendogenous motivationshealth information privacy concernmixed-methodsePAonline review helpfulnesssignaling theorysentiment analysisphysician rating websitesconsumer decision-makinghealth information technologyinformation exchangehospitalmarketMedicineWiesner Martinedt1314131Schreiweis BjörnedtWiesner MartinothSchreiweis BjörnothBOOK9910585946003321Information Technology's Role in Global Healthcare Systems3031743UNINA
