Recently, a paper by HU Wei’s team titled Association Between Concerns About COVID-19 Infection and Blood Donation Intention: Cross-Sectional Survey Study Through a Mobile Communication Platform was published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented impact on blood inventory, a random survey on the public's psychological cognition and intention related to blood donation, and factors affecting their worries was conducted among residents aged 18-60 years in Zhejiang province, which provided scientific references for the strategy of voluntary blood donation during the public health contingency and the post-COVID period. 

The Journal of Medical Internet Research (Journal Impact Factor 7.4), founded in 1999, is one of the leading digital health journal globally, focusing on emerging technologies, medical devices, apps, engineering, telehealth and informatics applications for patient education, prevention, population health and clinical care.
