INTERNET: health care over the internet

The provision of health care over the internet is a rapidly evolving and potentially beneficial means of delivering treatment otherwise unsought or unobtainable. Internet interventions and regulations are tipically behavioral treatments operationalized and transformed for the web delivery with the goal of symptom improvement. The literature on the utility of Internet interventions is limited, and there are fewer outcome study findings. There should be a clear overview how Internet interventions and preventions are used in clinical practice; what are future directions and implications of this kind of use. It's obvious that Internet interventions will not replace face-2-face care and that's why is very doubtful that this kind of intervention will gain and get some importance as a powerful component of successful psychobehavioral treatment.

I find this topic very interesting to discuss...

Introduction

Hello to everyone. My name is Jure Pogačar. I am a postgraduate student at the Faculty of social sciences in the capital of Slovenia - Ljubljana. I graduated at the department of marketing communication in Ljubljana, where we learned about general things of communication studies, so i cannot say that I have wide knowledge about new media and similar topics. I hope I'll get some more general knowledge at the subject New Media and society.
I would also like to say thet I don't prefer using computers, except for daily use; reading on-line newspaper, checking stock exchange worldwide, checkin e-mail, etc. That's why I prefer more face-to-face interactions with friends and other people, because it's more personal than chating by using on-line facilities.
However, I hope we will have some great discusions about certain topic on the blog.

That would be all for the first time.

Jure
