Open Internet vs. Closed Doctor-Directed Systems–Susannah Fox

October 11, 2007 By Susannah Fox 1 Comment

Our research shows that most people just use a general search engine when they have a health question, but many report feeling overwhelmed by what they find. What’s the trade-off? What other resources are out there for e-patients?

E-patients With Chronic Conditions–Susannah Fox

October 9, 2007 By Susannah Fox Leave a Comment
