Bringing Patients into Tweet Chats

Engaging patients in health conversations is essential but do we know if they are active in social media? Today on Get Social Health my guest is Dr. Ruth Carlos. She’s the Deputy Editor of the Journal of the American College of Radiology, as well as a professor of radiology at the University of Michigan. In 2016 she led a team of researchers to study the impact of patients on a TweetChat. Their work won the 2016 Stanford Medicine X / Symplur Signals “Everyone Included Research Challenge.” We’ll talk about her work getting patients engaged in healthcare via social media on Get Social Health.

Dr. Anonymous – Blogger, Podcaster, Early Adopter

September 23, 2014 Janet Kennedy 00:36:25 6 Comments

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

September 2, 2014 Janet Kennedy 00:24:27 4 Comments

Dr. 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.
