Health Literacy as a Key Concept for a Healthy Life? I Think There Is a Bigger Picture Here

Perspectives of health literacy basically address any form of human action that is taken in connection with health-related information. The rise of interest in health literacy has been stimulated by views that consider health literacy to be a key determinant for a healthy life in today’s societies. With the establishment of this “premise”, it has been argued that health literacy can be used by way of a response to a number of major social challenges arising from the digitisation of the health sector, a way to increase patient autonomy, or a bridge between health-relevant knowledge and social conditions.
