Background And Aims: The online health platform becomes an important choice for users to receive health services. While bringing convenience to users, it also provides lots of overloaded information for users and leads them to have trouble in making online medical choice decisions. In order to understand what types of information on the online health platform play key roles in the user's decision choice, this research explores the effects of cognition-based information, affect-based information and institution-based information on patients' willingness to conduct online health consultation from the perspective of Web Trust Model.
Methods: Responses of 412 valid questionnaires were collected online surveys.
Results: The results showed that: (1) cognition-based information, affect-based information and institution-based information positively predict patients' willingness to conduct online health consultation; (2) online trust significantly mediates the relationship between online health platform information and willingness to conduct online health consultation; (3) health consciousness significantly moderates the mediating effect of online trust in the effect of online health platform information on patients' willingness to conduct online health consultation.
Conclusions: The findings make theoretical contributions by extending the Web Trust Model to the research field of online health service and offers practical implications for how to effectively provide information on the online health platform.

Background: Availability of amyloid modifying therapies will dramatically increase the need for disclosure of Alzheimer's disease (AD) related genetic and/or biomarker test results. The 21st Century Cares Act requires the immediate return of most medical test results, including AD biomarkers. A shortage of genetic counselors and dementia specialists already exists, thus driving the need for scalable methods to responsibly communicate test results.

Such brain health priorities can vary across populations and it is unclear to what degree findings from the ePSOM program in the UK might apply to the US.
Methods: We conducted an online nationwide study to understand what matters to people aged 50 and older about their brain health in the US.

Background: We have co-produced with carers of people with dementia (hereafter carers) a culturally tailored iSupport Virtual Assistant (VA), namely e-DiVA, to support English-, Bahasa- and Vietnamese-speaking carers in Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand and Vietnam. The presented research reports qualitative findings from the e-DiVA user-testing study.
Method: Family carers and healthcare professionals working in the field of dementia care were given the e-DiVA to use on their smartphone or handheld device for 1-2 weeks.
