How is patient trust transferred from online medical platforms to offline? by Lin Liang, Lin Liang

“…However, the existing studies pay insufficient attention to the dynamic and multi-stage characteristics of online medical trust, especially the lack of in-depth discussion on the trust transfer of patients from online to offline.MethodsThis study builds a patient trust transfer model based on relevant theories, and analyzes the influence mechanism of online reputation feedback on patients' online and offline trust combined with text mining technologies such as sentiment analysis. The research adopts the multi-dimensional analysis method, comprehensively considers the online and offline scenarios, and reveals the key drivers of trust transfer through large-scale data analysis.ResultsThe study found that doctors' online reputation feedback and interaction quality were important factors affecting patients' trust transfer. …”
