What can we learn from second generation digital natives? A qualitative study of undergraduates’ views of digital health at one London university

摘要

ObjectivesWe live in a digital age and opportunities within healthcare are increasing, ranging from patient portals to wearable devices. Today’s undergraduates are second generation digital natives and are at a critical point of becoming more autonomous in their healthcare interactions. This study aims to understand their experiences of both digital and broader healthcare. This will enable a better understanding of implications for national policy, individual healthcare organisations and further research.
