I wonder why no one talks about health care social media influences inspite of participatory medicine through online user driven healthcare being so rampant globally? Is it because of more focus on celebrity influencers than on those that are influenced and yet lie largely at the bottom of the pyramid too small to be noticed? regards, rb-2025 On Tue, 7 Jan 2025, 07:17 Joyojeet Pal via Air-L, <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> wrote:

This is a topic that has been discussed in each of the symposia (and this year as well there is a speaker talking on food influencers). See talks at the Michigan conf by Liver Doc on the impact of viral messaging on traditional medicine and influencer-driven quackery on the work of hepatologists <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhiA6nxMq1s>. On online conversations and stigma around sexual and reproductive health <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGW5F8-4Lmg> by an Obgyn who runs her own social media channels. On the work of vascular surgeons and how they talk about <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LhyOzhDLkk> it on social media.
