See on Scoop.it – Health Care Social Media Monitor
When a patient at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals’ Headache Center complained on Twitter about a long wait, Jefferson Director of Social Media Josh Goldstein was monitoring the Jefferson brand on Twitter at the time. Goldstein, who was off campus, immediately texted the interactive marketing team to go the waiting room and find the patient. It turned out the patient had never signed in at the computer kiosk.

patient use of social media helps push diabetes surgery into mainstream
A new study has found that diabetes patients who had tried bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) used social media outlets to advocate for the procedure and show how it had positively impacted their Type II diabetes.
Business intelligence company Wool.labs used its technology WebDig to track every conversation accessible on the Internet and determined the trends among diabetes patients and healthcare providers as related to options to help manage diabetes including bariatric surgery.
We believe that the patient wave of support in social media has helped push diabetes surgery into mainstream acceptance faster~ Michele Bennett, chief operating officer of Wool.labs.
Current trends show that patient conversation was ultimately a key contributor to physician acceptance of weight loss surgery as a tool to control diabetes.
Social media provides a unique window into patient and physician experiences. We can also see how those perceptions impact the patients relationship with the healthcare community ~ Scott Reese, chief executive officer of Wool.labs

Q: Is there a site where patients can track their own conditions and meet each other? It would be a great idea.
My answer: Plenty of them, one example is Patientslikeme.com
Q: Is it possible to somehow curate medical social media channels?
My answer: Of course, see Webicina.com.
Q: It would be great to have a site where doctors can talk to each other.
