Not convinced at all....how much does this system cost?
A free piece of software could of been used to do exactly the same job.

RE: What do you think about the Health Exchange?, Posted 14 Feb 2008
I think it could be a really good site if more people know about it. When I first entered the site I felt the sig-up link could be more obvious. Having signed up, I felt that the first page might benefit from having a simpler outline of what the site offers and what mambers can do on the site. How often would you recommend we do a health chart?
Thanks,
Niall.

I think it is a very good idea, but in order for it to be better, more people must join.
The web address is quite long and hard to remember, i will easily forget it. It would be great if it was made shorter.
Also there is no way of inviting strangers to become buddies.
Overall very good.

I think the concept is great and would like to take part on a continual basis.
One thing I did notice was, could an easier option of inviting other people to join be integrated into the home page, so it's there on demand and easier to find.
Thanks

Its confusing to navigate.
Some people may be uncomfortable discussing personal issues with people who could possibly identify them.

It does focus on health issues and points off concern. I would not use this site like face book as potentially sensitive information could be shared. Other sites do it a more fun way!

Hi Rosa
Thanks! You have a good point. What if we made it optional to show either first name or full name?

The health exchange is really interesting. I'm a young teenager and find it quite easy to navigate. I have one little criticism. Other forums, Facebook, Bebo etc only display your christian name when you're talking to other people. Maybe the Heath Exchange could do this too?

RE: What do you think of the Health Exchange?, Posted 16 Dec 2007
I did find it rewarding completing my health status - it made me thoroughly think about the different areas that affect my well-being. I have battled with depression since my late teenage years and felt 'cheerfully sheepish' when I compared my results and found that my hope, sense of security and self esteem levels were even above average. This reflects the settled year I have spent on effective medication but also perhaps reveals my high expectations of life and demanding ideas about how I should experience it. I feel that having a 'track record' of personal health status would have been a huge help to me during my attempts to find a treatment for my depression. I often tried to keep my own - in the form of journals or wall charts - in the hope of tracing down a pattern in my moods - seasonal/cyclical etc, but never succeeded in creating a record I felt justified my experiences. ...or did, and then felt scared (when I was feeling better) about the 'down-times' I'd had. I also...

Hi Emma
Many thanks for these comments, really appreciated.
I agree about the topic list - to some extent it is bound to be a bit arbitrary. I like the idea about spirituality - someone else mentioned this recently too.
There is definitely room for the professionals to explain the basics in a calm and balanced way.
At the moment we are piloting for functionality. When we launch - we hope in January - we want about 50 situations students may experience, we will review the items in the foundations, and we will add 'official advice'. We are talking with Boots plc about the latter - so watch this space.
Can I ask - how did it make you feel when you set out your health status? For some people it can be quite a powerful experience.

RE: What do you think of the Health Exchange?, Posted 15 Dec 2007
I think it has the potential to help people but I have a couple of queries/concerns;
- do the topics in the health profile reflect a certain concept of health?...eg. are libraries a health factor for everyone, what about access to ancestral lands? I may have missed it - but was there a 'spirituality' topic. I would consider spirituality to be a part of my health picture.
- what about the 'scare' factor of having too much information. I know I've googled a health concern only to be stressed out by the 'personal stories' which can be dramatic and desperate - leading me to panic about my own future. Isn't there a reason for having 'professionals' explain issues - so that it can be done in a balanced, researched, relevant way? (Although I do think there needs to be space for people actually experiencing a condition to share.)

RE: What do you think of the Health Exchange?, Posted 15 Dec 2007
It's great. I really found myself taking time (and I rarely get a chance to) to consider things. It's clear that an amazing amout of thought has gone into HX and, moreover, care. One subscriber described HX as 'facebook with heart' and I certainly agree with that.

Pretty easy to use - only had to use help function once (Didn't take the tour). Took a bit to find the "Continue" at the bottom of the page....but the flashing cursor alerted me....keep that.

RE: What do you think of the Health Exchange?, Posted 11 Dec 2007
Yeah, I like this. I think it will be better once we have lots of people on it but the potential is there isn't it?
Not sure that I have any suggestions to improve it.

RE: What do you think of the Health Exchange?, Posted 11 Dec 2007
I think the Health Exchange is a fantastic idea. It is like a Facebook with heart.
I see myself differently now I have done a chart. I was a bit shocked to find that I am much less confident than I thought I was. But at least now I can do something about it.
I'm going to tell other people about this. I hope the Uni keeps this going.
