This research pursues how digital health information is consumed and be useful for in Nepal and, second, more globally in terms of e-health around the world because I have been so much fascinated by e-health materials, and have been harnessing them for better reading, writing, researching and teaching for a decade with students from Medical and Science Schools. With the sudden explosion of digital media content and access devices in the last generation, there is now more information available to more people from more sources than at any time in human history, but the innovations in care delivery also could exacerbate disparities in access to care across racial/ ethnic or economic groups or between the technologically sophisticated and native. Health care providers are beginning to deliver a range of Internet-based services to patients; however, it is not clear which of this e-health services patient’s need or desire. My research will dig out what kinds of digital resources do the doctors in the Nepalese hospitals use to cater better care, and whether or not telemedicine is the alternative to e-health. Though the research site is in Nepal, my findings can imply to the global contexts.
