SUMMARY:Séminaire IRSPUM-CRÉUM-U. Concordia «Health Promotion in the Dig
 ital Era: A Critical Commentary»
DESCRIPTION:A range of digitised health promotion practices have emerged in
  the digital era. These include the use of smartphone apps\, wearable devi
 ces\, social media and patient self-monitoring technologies. Some of these
  practices are voluntarily undertaken by people who are interested in impr
 oving their health and fitness\, but many others are employed in the inter
 ests of organisations and agencies.
This talk provides a critical commenta
 ry on digitised health promotion. I begin with an overview of the types of
  digital technologies that are used for health promotion\, and follow this
  with a discussion of the socio-political implications of such use. It is 
 contended that many digitised health promotion strategies focus on individ
 ual responsibility for health and fail to recognise the social\, cultural 
 and political dimensions of digital technology use. The increasing blurrin
 g between voluntary health promotion practices\, professional health promo
 tion\, government and corporate strategies requires acknowledgement\, as d
 oes the increasing power wielded by digital media corporations over digita
 l technologies and the data they generate. These issues provoke questions 
 for health promotion as a practice and field of research that hitherto hav
 e been little addressed.
