Shifting GeoPolitics of Online Physician Communities (purchase of Doctors.Net) #doctors20 #hcsmeu | Health Care: eMarketing - Web 2.0 - Social Media | Digital Health | Scoop.it

Google+ is Expanding Social Media Options for Clinical Trials - Industry Blog - MediciGlobal

Google+ is Expanding Social Media Options for Clinical Trials - Industry Blog - MediciGlobal | Digital Health | Scoop.it
Will Google+ put a dent in Facebook? Maybe. Will it be the beginning of the end for Facebook? Unlikely. While it won’t replace Facebook, its introduction of Google+ is a significant one.

With all of the new security and sharing changes Facebook will be implementing beginning tomorrow, I think Google+ will falter. The selling point of Google+ is the ability to share posts and pictures with certain, well-defined buckets of people (friends, co-workers, family), Facebook will soon be implementing the same abilities. Should be interesting to see the war!

Kent Bottles Private Views: Avatars, Computers, and Robots Are Coming to Primary Care | Digital Health | Scoop.it

Within in five years primary care providers will begin being replaced by sociable humanoid robots, avatars, and computer programs. Within ten years you will no longer hear any complaints about medical students choosing specialty residencies over family practice because the role of the physician will be completely redefined to complement a rules based approach to the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases.

Case Study: Using Social Media to Support Rare Disease Research « ICON Worldwide Blog | Digital Health | Scoop.it

Regardless, the massive potential to use social media and community efforts to support pharmaceutical and disease research is real and patients and the medical community are slowly edging towards programs that work without violating regulation.
