Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

4.0K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.0K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

4.9K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.6K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Education
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Health literacy significantly impacts individuals' ability to manage their health and participate in healthcare decisions.
  • Understanding the cognitive factors influencing health literacy is crucial for developing effective interventions.
  • Socioeconomic aspects also play a role in health literacy and access to information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a conceptual model detailing cognitive factors influencing health literacy.
  • To develop the HEALIE Knowledge Graph to represent this model.
  • To integrate the knowledge graph with a Large Language Model for personalized medical content generation.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual modeling of cognitive and socioeconomic factors in health literacy.
  • Development of the HEALIE Knowledge Graph using medical ontologies and expert insights.
  • Combination of the knowledge graph with a Large Language Model (LLM).

Main Results:

  • A conceptual model for cognitive factors affecting health literacy was established.
  • The HEALIE Knowledge Graph was successfully developed, integrating diverse medical resources.
  • A prototype demonstrating personalized medical content generation using the LLM and knowledge graph was created.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed model and HEALIE Knowledge Graph provide a framework for understanding health literacy.
  • Integrating knowledge graphs with LLMs offers a promising approach for personalized health information delivery.
  • This approach can empower patients by providing tailored and accessible health content.
