Get Social Health

October 9, 2018 By Susannah Fox Leave a Comment

Get Social Health

Janet Kennedy recently hosted me on the Get Social Health podcast, which focuses on how social media is being used to help hospitals, clinicians, caregivers, and patients connect and engage. We discuss how Twitter hashtags can be like camp fires, where people gather to tell stories, and why I have empathy for people who don’t […]

Medicine fails, patient is frustrated: Google

Medicine fails, patient is frustrated: Google

Jessica Hagy is one of my favorite social commentators, so I was thrilled to meet her in person at the 2010 Mayo Transform conference, curated by David Rosenman. Here is one of her cartoons from that event: I have shared the image on Twitter a few times, including today, when I wrote that I’d add […]

When Patients Band Together: Far From a Disgrace–Susannah Fox

September 8, 2011 By Susannah Fox 23 Comments

When it comes to news sites, I love scanning readers’ comments as much as the original articles. Comments are an unfiltered feed, a window into public opinion (in other words, catnip for someone like me). One thread caught my eye recently. Ron Winslow wrote a very nice piece in the Wall Street Journal about how […]

Going Viral Against HIV and STIs

December 10, 2010 By Susannah Fox 7 Comments

The New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute, in partnership with AIDS.gov, held a one-day forum on social media, HIV, and sexually transmitted infections (STI) that turned out to be an unfiltered discussion of love, truth, and technology. Why was it so smoking hot? And is this unique to conferences (or panels) about sexual […]

What is the ROI on love?–Susannah Fox

September 27, 2010 By Susannah Fox 13 Comments

Last week’s Mayo Transform symposium was a two-day excursion into the world of science, data, design, and the secret ingredient to health: love. Patch Adams, MD, kicked things off in grand style. If you’ve never seen him speak, treat yourself to a hit of his energy: In 1971, he and his compatriots opened a 24×7 […]
