But, There Are Certain Curiosities (or Questions) Raised by Pew's Research

We'll Address Them By Examining Pew's Research Along With Our Own

Digital Health Dataset

A Note Before We Begin

But, We're Interested in the Scope and Impact of Digital Health Content Consumption,

So We'll Talk About Both

Source: Pew Internet, 2013

Is Search the Center of the Online Health Info Consumption Universe?

1.

Question

Pew Said:

Source: Pew Internet, 2013

This Question Makes Sense to Ask in a Survey Because It May Be Easier for People

to Recall Health Content Consumption That's Proactive in Nature

And, If You Ask People to Recall More Detail About Their Online Health Content Consumption Activities,

You Run into Trouble

“The test results [significantly differ] between passively observed data and respondent recall. . . . Respondents select websites which are familiar as sources of health and wellness information, but which they either do not actually visit or visit regularly enough to validate with

passive observations."

This Study Illustrates Why What People Say is Sometimes Different from What They Do

We Should Not Forget That People Consume Health Content Whether

They Are Seeking It or Not

Search is Only Part of the Picture, Much Health Content is Being Consumed Serendipitously

From Enspektos, LLC Tracking Study of 398 Active Digital Health Consumers Conducted Sept. - Oct. 2012

Implications

We Need to Consider the Many Ways People Are Consuming Digital Health Information Across

Caregiver, Provider or Patient Journeys and How This Content Influences Them at Each Stage

Search is Important But, It Shouldn't Be Our Primary Focus

1.

Is Offline More Important Than Online When it Comes to

Health Information Consumption and Influence?

2.

Question

Pew Said:

Source: Pew Internet, 2013

Yet, Are Offline Information Sources Also Influencing Opinion About

Health and Wellness?

Online Moms Are Widely Recognized As Digital Power Users, But Offline Health Info Sources Carry Weight

From Enspektos, LLC Study of 573 Online Moms Conducted in Late 2011 - Early 2012

Implications

Despite the Rise of Digital, Humans Still Power Health

Offline Health Information Sources Are Key

2.

The Machines Haven't Won, Yet

Are We Paying Enough Attention to the Fact That Minorities

Are Important in Digital Health?

3.

Question

Pew Said:

Source: Pew Internet, 2013

We've Also Seen How Minorities Are More Likely to Download Mobile Health Apps(Some of Our Online Mother Data Appears Below)

From Enspektos, LLC Study of 573 Online Moms Conducted in Late 2011 - Early 2012

Do We Understand Why Minorities Are Using These Technologies and

What They Want?

Implications

Take Note: Unlocking How and Why Minorities Use the Web, Mobile and Other Digital Technologies

Could Yield Tremendous Benefits

Don't Forget People of Color in Digital Health

3.

Is Social Media Less Important Than We Think in Health?

4.

Question

Most People Aren't Turning to Social Networks Firstto Find Health Content

Data Source: Pew Internet, 2013

Some Health Content is Less Likely to Be Consumed on Social Networks

(Data Shown Below Was Collected During Online Moms' Unaided Social Media/Web Sessions)

*Among mothers with Twitter/Facebook accounts who granted permission to trackstatus updates

Analysis conducted on data collected between November 7 and December 20, 2011

Numerous categories tracked, four shown above are for illustrative purposes

From Enspektos, LLC Tracking Study of 538 Online Moms

Implications

But, We Need to Better Understand Social's True Impact on Awareness, Perceptions and Behavior

Across a Variety of Disease States

Social Media Can't Be Dismissed

Is the Digital Health Money Train Moving in the Right Direction?

$150M Invested in Tracking Tools

But, Limited Self-Tracking is Happening via Mobile

Data Source: Pew Internet, 2013

Sensors Are a Big Focus

But More Data on Digital Health Consumer Demand

Needed (as of Early 2013)

Source: Rock Health - Mid-2012 Digital Health Funding Report

Implications

Questions Remain About How Well Digital Health Investment Activity is

Aligned With Market Demand, But . . .
