Digital health provides a powerful and effective platform for the prevention and management of STIs. Digital platforms can be used to develop online social networks through individual-level or community-level connections.
By Dr. Sanchari Sinha Dutta, Ph.D.Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. How do digital platforms impact sexual health?Adherence to medication Sexually transmitted infections are spread from one person to another through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Of more than 30 pathogens that are transmitted sexually, eight are associated with the highest incidence of STIs.
Advanced technology and increased availability and accessibility to internet services have made digital platforms an integral part of our lives. Public health authorities are now adopting and applying various features of digital platforms to increase awareness and improve sexual health services. In the modern healthcare system, digital health is considered a promising approach for disease surveillance and public health interventions.
Theory-based digital interventions involve behavioral theories to guide their implementation. Various theories have been implemented in digital interventions, including health belief models, the theory of planned behavior, protection motivation theory, and the unified theory of behavior. New digital interventions for sexual health education have been developed using these theories.
Channels provided by digital platforms are used to facilitate communications between vulnerable populations and initiate offline visits. An MSM --friendly physician finder function embedded within a gay mobile app has been found to gain popularity among young people as an option to consult physicians online. This subsequently can increase patients’ access to STI information and facilitate STI testing or treatment-related decision-making.
Digital interventions developed to improve the mental health status of people living with STIs have been found to increase their medication adherence. Such interventions have shown promising outcomes in terms of reducing the perceived stress, anxiety, and depression of HIV patients.
