Diversity, Health Care, and Social Technologies

If you attended my recent presentation on social technologies, diversity and inclusion, and healthcare, you’ll remember that I mentioned I would post links to some of the current relevant research. This isn’t an exhaustive list, but if you’re interested in researching these issues further, it will help you get started:

Pew Internet, Peer-to-Peer Healthcare (Feb. 28, 2011)

Pew Internet, Health Topics (Feb. 1, 2011)

Pew Internet, Mobile Health (Oct. 19, 2010)

The specific citations to these reports are in the slideshow.

Also, the day after my session (of course), Pew Internet released a new report titled “The Social Life of Health Information”. Darn, I wish they’d released this before my presentation!
