Abstract

The project's purpose is to evaluate the potentials of digital transformation of health information provision from both the patients' and the providers' perspective and to investigate effects of digital information formats on patients' trust, satisfaction, knowledge and compliance with treatment. To meet patients' strong needs for high quality information, digital information provision by health professionals seems to be essential and is able to overcome new barriers of healthcare during and beyond health crises.
