“…A randomized clinical trial demonstrated that online reminders could increase asthma control among adults [53]. Yet, a paradoxical effect also seems possible [54][55][56], given the ease with which incorrect and potentially harmful information may be accessed [57,58].…”

The emergence of new technology enables allergists and patients to compile data and receive feedback regarding key symptoms, risk behavior, and/or management. The term "eHealth" refers to a diverse group of tools that use computerized technologies to improve both the efficacy and the efficiency of the health care industry. eHealth comprises a variety of technologies, as follows: mobile devices (mHealth) in medical care, including electronic diaries, wearable sensors, and adherence monitoring; health informatics (eg, electronic health records, computerized physician order entry, clinical decision support); telemedicine, which is the use of information and communication technologies for the management of diseases and medical education; social media platforms, and the analysis of information acquired through these platforms using "big data" technologies. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on the use of eHealth technology and the relevance of eHealth to allergic conditions. ResumenLa aparición de nuevas tecnologías conlleva para los alergólogos y los pacientes la posibilidad de recopilar datos y recibir información directa sobre los síntomas clave de las enfermedades, los comportamientos de riesgo y/o su manejo. El término "eHealth", o salud electrónica, se refiere a un grupo diverso de herramientas que utilizan tecnologías informáticas para mejorar la eficacia y la eficiencia de la industria de la salud. La "eHealth" comprende varias tecnologías, como el uso de dispositivos móviles aplicados a la salud ("mHealth"), incluyendo diarios electrónicos, sensores ponibles o monitorización de la adherencia terapéutica; la informática biomédica (por ejemplo, la historia clínica electrónica, la prescripción electrónica o los sistemas de ayuda a las decisiones clínicas); la telemedicina, que es el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación para el manejo de enfermedades y de educación sanitaria; las plataformas de redes sociales, y el análisis de la información adquirida a través de estas plataformas, usando técnicas de "big data" o inteligencia de datos. En esta revisión, resumimos la evidencia que rodea al uso de tecnologías "eHealth" y su relevancia para las enfermedades alérgicas.

Introduction: Urticaria is a common debilitating dermatological disorder impairing a patient’s quality of life. Such patients are increasingly using socialmedia to manage their health and interact with peers, particularly during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Objectives: To explore and analyse the quality of urticaria related social-media information available to patients. Materials and Methods: An in-depth data audit of the three most commonly used social networks viz. Facebook®, LinkedIn®, and Twitter® were done on a single day, as posts may change or lose relevance over time. The word “urticaria” was searched on three social media, and the first 100 posts in each were further analysed. The post-creator was either categorised as “individual” or “group”, and non-English posts were excluded. All types of posts have been analysed, including text, images, video, and website links. We also collected the comments/replies, share/re-tweet, and likes on the posts. Results: Among the total 300 social-media posts, the highest number of “individual” posts was on LinkedIn® followed by Twitter® and Facebook® (χ2 = 82.86, P < 0.0001). Regarding thematic content, most Facebook® posts discussed disease symptoms, followed by the promotion of journal or blog posts, and discussion about causative and triggering agents. LinkedIn® was primarily used for the promotion of journal articles or blog posts, followed by educational webinars and urticaria treatment stories. Twitter® users mostly interacted with peers about their urticaria symptoms and perceived etiologic and triggering factors. Regarding the type of post, images were maximally shared on Facebook®, while video/video links and web links were highest on LinkedIn® (χ2 = 21.59, P < 0.0001). Conclusion: The overall quality of urticaria related information on these 3 social media platforms is satisfactory for patients. Dermatologists may consider utilising social media to further educate such patients and improve the overall treatment outcome. The use of such networking channels will continue to grow, as communication remains crucial for urticaria management.

“…Those who experience marginalization in their daily lives might find a community online (e.g., in a Facebook group for those students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; Gajaria et al, 2011 ). However, such technologies can also result in experiences of cyberostracism (D’Amato et al, 2012 ), or being ignored or excluded online, a threat to belonging. Rather than solely praising or condemning the effects of social networking sites, Dennis contributed to teasing out the paradox that social media may both enhance social connectedness and belonging while simultaneously increasing risks of potential adverse outcomes (Allen et al, 2014).…”

This tribute celebrates the distinguished scholarship and extraordinary life of Dennis Michael McInerney, who passed away in Hong Kong on May 20th, 2022. It is a testimony of his impact on our professional and personal lives while highlighting the multitude and depth of his scholarly contributions. McInerney was one of those thinkers who invited us to reconsider how we conceptualize, assess, and apply scientific investigations in our teaching and learning practices. He authored and co-authored numerous widely used books and published numerous research articles in peer-refereed journals. During his remarkable career, McInerney dedicated a significant part to researching the problems associated with studying culture and uncovering how culture is a missing link in most motivation research. He believed there was a noteworthy need to conduct Indigenous educational research to understand the extent to which mainstream motivation theories apply to culturally diverse groups and stand up to cross-cultural testing scrutiny. McInerney’s influence and impact will transcend future generations of research, given the gravity of his scholarly contributions.
