In this paper the authors examine the various models in the medical domain and the communities that proliferate around these web models. Given that several of these business models have failed. while others continue to exist, it is argued that the key is to understand the individual consumer motivators and inhibitors for such knowledge. In this paper the authors systematically develop a theoretical model to understand such motivators and inhibitors of individuals' obtaining health related information online. The focus of this study is the manner in which individual consumers' use online sources to obtain health and other related medical information.

“…Approximately 47.0% to 99.6% of videos were excluded, with the majority of studies excluding > 90.0% of identified videos. Though this varies by medical topic and the specific inclusion/exclusion criteria used, in some studies the search strategies used identified thousands of potentially relevant videos which needed to be screened [14,39,41,43,48,51]. For most of the studies included in the scoping review, a minority of videos, ranging from approximately 14.0% to 62.5%, were found to be educationally useful or of high quality.…”

“…13,15 Previous studies have assessed the quality of medical procedure videos held on YouTube. 2 However, there is a paucity of research relating to the quality of educational material in the fi eld of respiratory medicine. The lack of regulatory mechanisms to vet or secure information contained within YouTube is potentially dangerous to those seeking online information.…”

YouTube contains a large volume of medical educational material. This study assessed the quality of respiratory auscultation videos contained in YouTube. Videos were searched for using the terms 'breath sounds', 'respiratory sounds', 'respiratory auscultation' and/or 'lung sounds'. In total, 6,022 videos were located, 36 of which were considered suitable for scoring for video accuracy, comprehensiveness and quality. The average score was 3.32/6 (55.3%±1.30). Video score correlated with time-adjusted YouTube metadata: hits per day (0.496, p=0.002) and likes per day (0.534, p=0.001). Video score also correlated with the fi rst search page on which the video was located in the 'breath sounds' and 'lung sounds' searches (-0.571, p=0.001; -0.445, p=0.014, respectively). The quality of videos was variable. Correlation between video score and some metadata values suggests that there is value for their use in judging video quality. However, the large number of videos found and inability to fi lter these results quickly makes locating educational content diffi cult.
