Mental Health factors Lack of confidence in device usage Self-exclusion due to lack of motivation (sense of information overload, trust); or multiple illiteracies: 3Rs, health, IT, information. Articulation of MY  health information needs Health literacy (and others) still  emerging as a discipline Lack of time to focus on 'my' health due to other constraints  and social pressures: duties / work Ethics: Primacy of message? My health or forest logging,  over-fishing, selling x,y,z ?

Physical health factors  (mobility, senses, ableness ... Inverse Care Law) Geographic issues -  terrain remoteness   Non-existent or  poor broadband services No access to energy supply Quality and safety concerns Need for more research  - change studies, innovation.

No spare - individual - income  for online services due to  family welfare - food ... Languages not available Cultural factors, negative attitudes Personal space in group settings (privacy, concentration, engagement) Articulation of MY  family's health information needs   Availability of Community initiatives shared access schemes?

Policies / Funding  of telecoms infrastructure: community - industry - gov  collaboration & partnership* 'Market' conditions - governance Being 'permitted' to have access,  use of devices - girls/women.
