Abstract

The paper discusses a usable security evaluation of two online health social networks: websites that provide health information and health services through online social networking tools. This allows patients to share their personal health information with other patients and their health-care providers, a key priority in such environments. Security features must be usable and effective; and recommendations are provided to improve their usability features. These can impact positively on their adoption by the intended users: the patients.
