“…Many Internet users have switched to the Internet to obtain information about health and health care [2,3]. The Internet World Stats report indicates that the number of Internet users in Egypt has increased from 29.8 million in June 2015 (32.6% of the population) to 33.3 million in June 2016 (37.0% of the population) [4].…”

BackgroundOver the last decade, the Internet has become an important source of health-related information for a wide range of users worldwide. Yet, little is known about the personal characteristics of Egyptian Internet users who search for online health information (OHI).ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to identify the personal characteristics of Egyptian OHI seekers and to determine any associations between their personal characteristics and their health information-seeking behavior.Methods This cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted from June to October 2015. A Web-based questionnaire was sent to Egyptian users aged 18 years and older (N=1400) of a popular Arabic-language health information website. The questionnaire included (1) demographic characteristics; (2) self-reported general health status; and (3) OHI-seeking behavior that included frequency of use, different topics sought, and self-reported impact of obtained OHI on health behaviors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.ResultsA total of 490 participants completed the electronic questionnaire with a response rate equivalent to 35.0% (490/1400). Regarding personal characteristics, 57.1% (280/490) of participants were females, 63.4% (311/490) had a university level qualification, and 37.1% (182/490) had a chronic health problem. The most commonly sought OHI by the participants was nutrition-related. Results of the multiple regression analysis showed that 31.0% of the variance in frequency of seeking OHI among Egyptian adults can be predicted by personal characteristics. Participants who sought OHI more frequently were likely to be female, of younger age, had higher education levels, and good self-reported general health.ConclusionsOur results provide insights into personal characteristics and OHI-seeking behaviors of Egyptian OHI users. This will contribute to better recognize their needs, highlight ways to increase the availability of appropriate OHI, and may lead to the provision of tools allowing Egyptian OHI users to navigate to the highest-quality health information.

“…In agreement with previous studies, we observed that instant messaging services are an alternative way for physicians to communicate with patients or their families, and that these services present several advantages. [24][25][26] The perceived benefits that have been observed within medical practice include reduction of medical errors 31 due to rapid online consultation and information sharing; strengthening of physician-patient relationships, related to creation of "dedicated conversation channels"; democratization of medical management, 21,22 since team-based decision-making can be implemented and patients' preferences can also be considered; and most importantly, increased access to healthcare services, through reaching out to remote and socially vulnerable populations. 23 In a Malaysian study, it was perceived that use of mobile messaging apps had a positive effect regarding coronary artery disease patients' knowledge of and adherence to a healthy lifestyle.…”

Use of smartphone-based instant messaging services in medical practice: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2020

Use of telemedicine has become more frequent and more convenient for addressing medical issues. 1 It is perfectly suited for use in the modern world because of its cost-efficiency, its availability in remote and rural areas, the improved access to care that it provides and its shorter response time. It can also improve the consistency and quality of healthcare. 2 In 2018, data from the International Telecommunications Union showed that there were more than 3.9 billion active mobile phone (cellphone) subscriptions worldwide. 3 More than 165,000 health-related applications (apps) have been designed and 62% of smartphone holders use their phone to obtain health advice. 4,5 Social media and smartphone-based instant messaging services (IMS) have exploded in popularity over recent years. Instant messaging services, such as WhatsApp and iMessage, have become a very common way to communicate, for personal and professional purposes. 6 The use of these services has become progressively more popular within the field of medicine, and they serve to connect doctors to patients, to other doctors and to other healthcare professionals. 7 This paradigm shift in medicine, created through popular communication applications, is of relevance both to developed and developing countries because of the economic, political and social issues that arise through use of these means of communication. Within the context of telemedicine programs, it is important to consider the legal perspective relating to contact between healthcare professionals and their patients or between these professionals and their colleagues. There is a need to avoid problems relating to privacy issues and medical malpractice, as well as to avoid fraud and abuse.

“…After reading the abstracts of these review papers, we found that scholars in other geographical areas mainly focused on online health information seeking [37,38,39,40,41], social media use in healthcare [42], Internet-based interventions (IPIs) [43], online community [44,45], and e-health [46]. Compared to our results, scholars in other areas mainly focused on online health information seeking and Internet-based interventions.…”

Background: Incidents of violence against medical staff have increased in intensity, showing the deteriorating relationship between doctors and patients in China over the past few years. In addition, professional–patient relations have been significantly affected in the Internet era in China, which has attracted great attention from many scholars. This study aims to analyze the research status of professional–patient relations in the Internet era in China and further reveal its research pattern and trends. Methods: This study collected journal articles published during the past 21 years from the Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform. Then, bibliometric analysis was carried out, including publication growth, core author and collaborative degree, highly cited papers, journal distribution, and institution distribution analyses. We also analyzed the subject heading–source literature matrix and co-occurrence matrix of keywords through hierarchical cluster, social network, and strategic diagram analyses. Results: The number of articles has continually risen since 1998, which follows the growth law of literature. Furthermore, the distribution of these studies obeys Bradford’s law of scattering, and mainly concentrates on the fields of medicine and health technology. The distribution of high-frequency keywords follows Zipf’s law. Conclusions: We identified eight focal research directions, namely: website building (especially for professional–patient interaction), telemedicine, professional–patient communication and network public opinion, professional–patient contradiction and health education, new media, follow-up interaction platform, healthcare reform and computer network, and medical ethics.
