The authors presents a conceptual analisys for Critical media health literacy. They were interested in the specific development and application of critical media health literacy (CMHL) and the processes by which it is developed in adolescents. The key attributes:1) A skill set; 2) Empowerment and 3) competency of engaged citizenship; CMHL becomes a democratic right and civic responsibility by which citizens can more effectively participate socially and politically or be fully engaged with the complexities of modern life (Kupersmidt, Scull and Weintraub Austin 2010). The ability to discover, detect and decode hidden agendas or dominant discourses should then inspire them to challenge and transform the more distal conditions influencing the health of others and their community. THE NEW DEFITION: "critical media health literacy (CMHL) is a right of citizenship and empowers individuals and groups, in a risky consumer society, to critically interpret and use media as a means to engage in decision-making processes and dialogues; exert control over their health and everyday events; and make healthy changes for themselves and their communities". And I say: to critically interpret (in a cognitive and emotional way)

On average, the children spent 5 hours and 10 minutes a day using the media, the dominant type being television and followed by other types of electronic media such as radio and the internet. Children also perceived television to be their main source of genetics information, followed by school, parents and books.
"A educação para os media está no centro da relação entre os media e a saúde".
The amount of time Canadians spent watching television, listening to the radio and online media use increased last year, the country's broadcast regulator says.

It's not just mobile health (mHealth) that is growing fast. The overall digital health sector - which includes mHealth, B2B apps and consumer services such as ZocDoc - is also rapidly expanding. That's if venture capital funding is anything to go by.

A new study suggests that patients increasingly look to the internet for both support and for health information, but do so in addition to traditional resources. The study found that patients are using the internet to connect with others who share their situations and to find information on health topics which they then share with their doctors. These patients still rely on traditional support structures, such as family, and their trust in their doctor is unaffected. Patients using online research bring the information to their doctors to ask questions and learn more, demonstrating a more active role in their own care.

Dave Levy (@levydr) writes: 'The more health apps have in common with other popular app trends like gamification, the easier it will be for mainstream consumers to get on board and use them more. Watching how new health apps leverage incentives is sure to be fascinating. And even though the examples [cited in the piece, namely Gympact, Stickk and RunKeeper] are all related to fitness, let’s home there are innovators out there working to crack the code that could bring game-applications to thins like physical therapy, medicine adherence and chronic condition tracking.'

The main barriers to the implementation and uptake of e- health services are twofold: on the patients' side, a lack of awareness of the potential benefits to be derived from e-health, and on the institutions' side, a similar lack of awareness of the potential benefits to be derived from e-health.
The health literacy movement has been socially constructed over time. Unlike the consumer health information movement, which developed with broad public support, the health literacy movement has been fashioned primarily from the top down, initiated by policy makers and imposed on targeted populations. Interest in the health literacy movement has waxed and waned, often dependent on political agendas. In an era of increasing health care costs, it is not surprising that health literacy is once again at the forefront, given that economists and policy makers currently estimate the cost of limited health literacy in the United States to be between $1.6 to $3.6 trillion annually. Health literacy has been recognized as an issue key to the success of health care reform and to the continued advancement of the nation's status as an international leader where health and well-being are concerned. Yet, the health literacy movement has met with limited success.

In “The New Multi-screen World: Understanding Cross-Platform Consumer Behavior,” we discovered that 90% of people move between devices to accomplish a goal, whether that’s on smartphones, PCs, tablets or TV. We set out to learn not just how much of our media consumption happens on screens, but also how we use these multiple devices together, and what that means for the way that businesses connect with consumers.

Barbara Ficarra (@BarbaraFicarra) writes: 'Consumers need safe, reliable, trustworthy apps to help guide their health and wellness and help them manage their chronic diseases. The health app world needs guidance. The vast assortment of apps to choose from makes it difficult for consumers to navigate. Which apps are reliable, trustworthy, and medically sound? How do consumers navigate the crowded world of health apps? "Common sense rules," Joseph Kvedar, M.D says. If consumers think it's a "magic app," it probably isn't. It doesn't seem as if there is too much hype -- just little guidance. The push to move the mHealth app world forward may be reside in the demands of consumers to be served with health and wellness apps that are safe, reliable and trustworthy, developed by companies who are not just those looking to "get rich quick'. [AS: Relevance and reliability are clearly paramount when it comes to #mhealth apps; however, I'd add to that apps also need to be interesting, elegant, and functional in order to retain users' interest and support.
