Marie Ennis-O’Connor‘s insight:

Main Message:

SoLoGloMoGaBi encompasses the leading facets of Healthcare Social Media: social, local, global, mobile, gamification, and big data. Social media replaces one-way conversation with information exchanges that engage people globally, 24/7. Through “serious games” and gamification, social media has the ability to catalyze behavioral change. Big Data refers to the collection of user information in  large, original databases that will further inform the creation of future social media applications.

Posted on by Editor

Russell Faust, MD, PhD is interviewed about his involvement with healthcare social media.

” HCSM is definitely NOT a passing phase! The specific platforms may come and go – after all, they are merely tools for connecting – but the act of connecting in the digital world will only grow, become more pervasive and easier in our lives. That includes our ability to access and edit our medical data, our ability to access our physicians and various experts for advice, and the ability to share anything and everything in the digital world.”

Engaged Patients & Patient Engagement: Different Directions In More Ways Than One

See on Scoop.it – Health Care Social Media Monitor

An engaged patient is someone deeply involved in the scientific understanding of their disease, fully aware at all times of the entire spectrum of available therapeutic options. It requires a set of learning, cognitive and psycho-social tools that can only be acquired by conversing often with a real network of peers who are similarly involved in this complex endeavor. Because most of the communities where these activities take place are either hidden or hard to find (due to privacy concerns), the health care world is usually unaware of the depth of experience demonstrated daily by these groups.
