Feeling overwhelmed by a sea of online health information and advice?

You’re not alone. The digital age has transformed how we access information, including health and wellbeing advice. A 2020 Statista study revealed that over 60 per cent of young adults in the UK turn to the Internet for health information (Statista, 2020).

In fact, the share of people searching for health information online has increased since 2015 across all age groups. While this digital revolution offers unprecedented access, it also presents challenges. The abundance of often conflicting health advice online can be overwhelming, leading to confusion and even misinformation.

The Rise of Digital Health and the Problem with Dr. Google

Consumer preferences are shifting. We’re increasingly comfortable with digital technologies for health guidance and diagnostics. The strain on healthcare systems, exemplified by NHS waiting lists, has accelerated this trend. People are seeking reliable, accessible alternatives for non-emergency health concerns. While the internet offers a wealth of information, it’s crucial to approach it with caution. Misinformation, self-diagnosis, and unproven therapies are prevalent risks (Nursing Times, 2023). The lack of control over online content makes it difficult to discern reliable sources.

Health and Wellbeing Apps: A Reliable Source

Health and wellbeing apps provide a potential solution to these challenges. By offering convenient, personalised, and evidence-based information, these services can empower individuals to take control of their health. Moreover, they often partner with healthcare professionals, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the content.

Benefits of Health and Wellbeing Apps

  • Reliable Information: Cutting through the noise with evidence-based information from qualified healthcare professionals, not anonymous internet sources.
  • Holistic Approach: Many apps offer a variety of features beyond just physical health, addressing areas like mental wellbeing, sleep, and stress management.
  • 24/7 Support: With increasing pressures on healthcare systems, apps offer convenient access to health information and support, often including features like virtual consultations.
  • Employee Benefits: By supporting employee wellbeing, these apps can contribute to a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce.
