Since December 2019 we have been working on the development of the tools that will provide citizens with appropriate resources to detect fake-news.
Application to detect health misinformation
- No Rumour Health will develop a mobile application for the checking of health misinformation.
- The user interface will be especially designed so elderly people with basic or low IT skills can learn quickly how to use it, thus, it will be adult learners ‘user friendly.
- To do so, the app design will be done through a co-creative way in which the final users will be actively involved.
- You can follow the latest news about the development of the app in our news section
The application will be reusable in 4 languages: English, Spanish, Greek and Polish.
Health misinformation e-modules
No Rumour Health consortium is designing four e-modules to learn how to identify fake news and to know which pages are reliable. These modules can help to discern when information is true and when it is not.
Module 1. An introductory module about the most common health misinformation
Module 2. How to spot health-related misinformation
Module 3. How to deal with a possible health-related misinformation
Module 4. How to use No Rumour Health application
The e-modules will be free to use through this website and available in English, Spanish, Greek and Polish.
Experiences from a project to help the elderly understand health misinformation
Experiences from a project to help the elderly understand health misinformation
The digital book named Experiences from a project to help the elderly understand health misinformation gathers lessons learned in the project and offers a practical guide for both professionals and learners about how to deal with misinformation.
Each chapter is independent so they can be used as a complementary tool of the digital platform and the application. It can be used and distributed under creative commons licence.
The main goal of the NoRumourHealth project is to empower adult learners to take their own decisions in health-related issues. The book ais aims at becoming a useful tool for helping adult learners to understand how they can verify information.
