Abstract
What is an ePatient? A first intuitive answer could be “a citizen who logs into the Internet as a patient.†But does this mere act of using the web give them some special quality? The iconic North American Technographics study by Forrester Research noted a new set of engagement roles for ePatients: trollers, inactives, spectators, joiners, collectors, critics, conversationalist and creators. Another possible classification is that of Akesson’s organizational view; which classifies e-Patient engagement according to: telemedicine; Information and Therapeutic Education; and Support.
This panel will present a number of case examples of the different emerging roles for e-patients and how the transition process has emerged over the last few years through the use of social media.
