Health Competence

Research indeed shows that people with good health competence often have better health habits.[2] . In other words, when people know how to correctly use health information, it can contribute to improving health (ibid.).

Instead of being a passive recipient of healthcare, digital solutions provide an opportunity for individuals to be active participants in their own health journey [3]. These solutions can be delivered in ways that build up or strengthen the belief that the treatment plan will succeed, and increase confidence that they can follow it. By giving people a larger voice and empowering them to be active participants in their own treatment, they can develop their abilities to be active decision-makers in their own treatment process [3].

In today's digital age, serious and less serious actors have the opportunity to deliver education and patient materials in various formats, at different literacy levels, in multiple languages, using formal and informal teaching methods, at any time. It is therefore more important than ever to be aware that different sources may have varying degrees of professionalism, credibility, and quality [4]. At ExorLive, source criticism is highly emphasized; all health information is carefully reviewed and thoroughly evaluated by our multidisciplinary team, and it is systematically updated to reflect the latest research. This helps ensure that our users can trust that the information is both credible and of the highest quality.

By strengthening health competence, ExorLive facilitates for each individual user not only to be able to make informed and confident choices for their personal health situation but also to achieve empowerment through increased knowledge and control over their own health.

Studies show that people with good health literacy often live healthier lives [1].

In today's digital world, you can be more than just a recipient of healthcare; you can actively contribute to improving your own health. Taking an active role can increase your understanding, empowerment, and trust in the treatment you receive.

Digital tools allow you to monitor and actively participate in your own treatment. These technologies support you in following treatment plans and give you greater confidence in managing your health.

In an era where many different actors offer health information, it is more important than ever to be critical of the sources you use. The information can vary greatly in quality and reliability. At ExorLive, we place great emphasis on source criticism; our interdisciplinary team ensures that all information is thoroughly reviewed and updated according to the latest research, so you can trust that you are receiving the highest quality information.

With increased health literacy, ExorLive facilitates you, the user, in making well-informed and safe choices for your health. Our goal is for you to feel enlightened and empowered to take control of your own health situation.
