The theoretical framework of this research is the theories of need seeking and planting. Because definitely, in today's world, new technologies play an important role as a partner to create a parallel world of reality, which with the points mentioned can shape the realization of a health-oriented life based on its various dimensions. For this reason, in the current social media era, for example, improving the planting theory and applying it in today's modern media world is a necessity. Having said that, the research hypotheses are as follows:It seems that there is a relationship between the amount of use of new media and a health-oriented lifestyle.It seems that there is a relationship between the type of new media and the health aspects of lifestyle.There seems to be a relationship between social networks and a health-oriented lifestyleIt seems that there is a relationship between new media and mental healthThere seems to be a relationship between new media and physical health.There seems to be a connection between new media and spiritual health.There seems to be a relationship between new media and social health.MethodologyThis research has been conducted using the survey method, which is considered among the quantitative research methods. The statistical population in this research is the students of Allameh Tabatabai University. The sampling method in this research is a combination of two techniques, multi-stage and quota. To obtain the sample size in this research, Cochran's formula was used, which enables research with 5% error and 95% confidence. The formal method has been used to achieve the validity of the research. In order to provide face validity in the research, the opinions of respected guidance and counseling professors as well as three methodological experts have been used to determine that the items and questions in question examine the desired characteristic.Research findings:According to the t-test with a sample calculated for the scale of access to media facilities, with 1% error and 99% confidence, there is a significant difference between the exploitation levels of users. The result shows that there is a significant difference between people's use of modern media.

Health and health services are two inseparable parts of one's life. Each person has had different needs for health services at least several times during their life cycle and would resolve them with available facilities. Regarding the high popularity of social networks in the last two decades, one of the tools that can provide many opportunities for people in the health field is social networking. In this research, we introduce a health social network which focuses on users or patients’ association with doctors and a variety of health services. In order to improve this network’s performance, we suggest a recommender system that can offer users a doctor, a special expertise in order to ask medical consultation, or an article, based on their needs. We have used heterogeneous information networks for modeling the health social network. These networks cover several types of objects, such as physicians, patients and consultation, and also several types of relationships, such as requesting or answering a consultation. For the recommender model, we use each user’s implicit feedback which they register on the network, according to the methods provided by the heterogeneous information networks. Bayesian Personalized Ranking is used in recommender model’s learning algorithm. This algorithm is a combination of ranking scores method and the foresaid learning algorithm. In the end, we will show how to use this social network and the recommender system, by applying the suggested method on our dataset.

E-learning in modern societies becomes particularly significant, when one takes into account such factors as the extensiveness of communities, the swift development and the need for constant education of citizens, time limitations for modern citizens as well as traffic issues, a lack of physical space and the high construction costs. The enhancement of the effectiveness and efficiency of this method in education and training are other advantages compared to the traditional one. A country’s health system can develop the internet use in the field of healthcare by laying down foundations for improvement. The study was conducted using a survey in 2013 with the aim of examining the role of e-learning in raising health awareness of young internet users. The statistical population of the study was a group of 200 female students at Allameh Tabataba’i University. Based on Cochran formula, 130 students were selected as the sample size and for the sample selection random sampling was used. Inferential findings of the study show that the main hypothesis of the researcher was proven. The findings of the research show that according to Uses and Gratification Theory, health messages and information of medical and health websites play a key role in changing the attitudes and health behavior of users; and compared to other media, a large number of their health information needs is met through them. In addition, based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model, respondents consider these messages and information as important factors for strengthening and maintaining their own optimal health, using them for managing their own health.
