Coronary Heart Disease is Australia's biggest killer and a patient's diagnosis is a traumatic event. A majority of patients resists the implications of their disease and fails to follow medical recommendations fully. Humanities research enables increased understanding of, and better communication with, heart patients yet has not been extensively used to understand how patients make sense of their new status. HeartNET, a therapeutic website, is used to investigate construction of the self as a heart patient and the research also applies gift economy theory to online interactions which help both self and others. Benefits include patient support and improved health outcomes, reducing human and financial costs to the community and Australia.

冠心病是澳大利亚最大的杀手，病人的诊断是一个创伤性事件。大多数患者抗拒疾病的影响，未能完全遵循医疗建议。人文科学研究可以增加对心脏病患者的了解，并与他们进行更好的沟通，但尚未广泛用于了解患者如何理解他们的新地位。HeartNET是一个治疗网站，用于调查作为心脏病患者的自我建设，该研究还将礼物经济理论应用于帮助自我和他人的在线互动。好处包括患者支持和改善健康结果，减少社区和澳大利亚的人力和财政成本。
