Background: As a new type of medical service application for doctor-patient interaction, online health communities (OHCs) have alleviated the imbalance between the supply and demand of medical resources in different regions and the problems of "difficult and expensive access to medical care", but also raised the concern of patients about the risk of disclosure of their health privacy information.

Methods: In this study, a dual-calculus model was developed to explore users' motivation and decision-making mechanism in disclosing privacy information in OHCs by combining risk calculus and privacy calculus theories.

Results: In OHCs, users' trust in physicians and applications is a prerequisite for their willingness to disclose health information.

In the process of intelligent system operation fault diagnosis and decision making, the multi-source, heterogeneous, complex, and fuzzy characteristics of information make the conflict, uncertainty, and validity problems appear in the process of information fusion, which has not been solved. In this study, we analyze the credibility and variation of conflict among evidence from the perspective of conflict credibility weight and propose an improved model of multi-source information fusion based on Dempster-Shafer theory (DST). From the perspectives of the weighting strategy and Euclidean distance strategy, we process the basic probability assignment (BPA) of evidence and assign the credible weight of conflict between evidence to achieve the extraction of credible conflicts and the adoption of credible conflicts in the process of evidence fusion.
