Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Consumer Health Informatics (CHI)

Background:

  • Consumer health informatics (CHI) is a rapidly growing field within medical informatics.
  • Developing fields require standardized terminology, research methods, and instruments for progress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conceptualize and develop a pilot
  • CHI toolbox,
  • a repository of methods and instruments from related fields.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study was conducted to create a foundational repository for CHI research.
  • Existing methods and instruments from relevant established fields were identified and organized.

Main Results:

  • The study identified challenges in organizing concepts within the nascent, interdisciplinary field of CHI.

Related Experiment Videos

  • A pilot CHI toolbox was conceptualized, highlighting the need for a structured resource.

    • Conclusions:

    • Developing a comprehensive CHI toolbox requires a concerted, collaborative effort from the research community.
    • Such a collaborative effort can accelerate the standardization of terms, definitions, variables, and instruments in CHI.
