Health video blogs (vlogs) allow individuals with chronic illnesses to share their stories, experiences, and knowledge with the general public. Furthermore, health vlogs help in creating a connection between the vlogger and the viewers. In this work, we present a qualitative study examining the various methods that health vloggers use to establish a connection with their viewers. We found that vloggers used genres to express specific messages to their viewers while using the uniqueness of video to establish a deeper connection with their viewers. Health vloggers also explicitly sought interaction with their viewers. Based on these results, we present design implications to help facilitate and build sustainable communities for vloggers.
健康视频博客（vlog）使慢性病患者能够与公众分享他们的故事、经历和知识。此外，健康视频博客有助于在博主和观众之间建立联系。在这项工作中，我们进行了一项定性研究，考察健康视频博主用来与观众建立联系的各种方法。我们发现，博主利用不同类型来向观众传达特定信息，同时利用视频的独特性与观众建立更深入的联系。健康视频博主还明确寻求与观众互动。基于这些结果，我们提出了设计建议，以帮助促进和为博主建立可持续的社区。
