Increasingly many young people are turning to the digital world to
find out about their health, find a doctor, engage on forums and use
apps rather than visit traditional practices that they sometimes find
unresponsive.
So how is this digital health world developing and what does it mean
to the 21st century health service.
Well the Digital Health Generation is a Wellcome Trust funded research
project examining how young people discover, interpret and access
health related information.
Launched in November 2017, you can tune in to this webinar to hear
from its project leaders to learn about its initial insights, where
the project is going next, and how you can get involved.
The Digital Health and Young People project looks especially at how
young people access health information through digital space, where we
feel there is an urgent need to provide support and guidance.
