What are the symptoms of a migraine? How effective is this drug? Where can I find more resources for cancer patients? Could I have an STD? Am I fat? A Pew survey reports more than 80 percent of American internet users have logged on to ask questions like these. But what if the digital traces left by our searches could show doctors and medical researchers something new and interesting? What if the data generated by our searches could reveal information about health that would be difficult to gather in other ways? In this book, Elad Yom-Tov argues that internet data could change the way medical research is done, supplementing traditional tools to provide insights not otherwise available.Internet in medicineInternet researchSocial mediaOnline social networksINFORMATION SCIENCE/Internet StudiesINFORMATION SCIENCE/GeneralInternet in medicine.Internet research.Social media.Online social networks.610.285Yom-Tov Elad752410OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910827954103321Crowdsourced health4028229UNINA
