Everyone Included Research Challenge

Today we have another guest involved with the Stanford Medicine X and Symplur Signals “Everyone Included Research Challenge,” – the co-founder of Symplur itself, Audun Utengen.  As we discussed in last week’s podcast, this challenge allows participants to use ‘deep data’ provided by Symplur to delve into issues relating social media and healthcare.  Listen in to Get Social Health as we discuss Symplur Signals with one of its co-founders.

Dr. Anonymous – Blogger, Podcaster, Early Adopter

Dr. Mike Sevilla, a practicing family practice physician, has one of the best known names (and voices) in social media. One of the original physician bloggers, Mike started blogging in 2005 under the nom de plume of “Dr. Anonymous.” As Mike recounts, pre-HIPAA physician blogging was generally under the radar using pseudonyms to allow physicians the ability to speak their minds and “rant” against the system. His perspective on the birth of healthcare social media is unique because he has established a presence in a number of media platforms including a personal website, a blog, a radio show, a podcast, Google Hangouts on air, Twitter and Facebook.

Global Social Media – TweetChat Pioneer

Dr. Gia SisonDr. Gia Sison is a physician who recognizes the potential of social media to share content among fellow physicians and educate patients.  Unusual? Maybe not in the US but as a practicing physician in the Philippines so is more than an early adopter, she is a social media pioneer. In our conversation we discuss how she started her social media journey by participating in Tweet chats happening in the US (12 hour difference). Dr. Sision joined with 3 other physicians in social media to promote the use of  Twitter to engage her nation in healthcare advocacy.

In our conversation we discuss how she found Twitter through Stanford’s #MEDx chat and then joined the #HCLDR and #HCSM chats to engage colleagues around the world.
