'This book addresses a significant need, exploring health promotion strategies in light of new digital technologies and advances in communications. I particularly appreciate the incorporation of values-based and ethical considerations, with emphasis on health inequities and a more critical health promotion practice - perspectives of key importance in our current communications climate.'
Charlotte Lombardo, Program Director, MPH-Health Promotion, University of Toronto

'Digital technologies have major implications for healthcare and public health. This book offers a necessary critical look at the ways in which digital health not only views responsibility for health but also offers new forms of surveillance and social inequalities.'
Jane Wills, London South Bank University and author of Foundations for Health Promotion
