Social Network Application for Health Care Delivery

Abstract

Social media use in health remains an issue with small evidence support. Conventional media promotions are used broadly in public health for a large variety of objectives and have shown positive outcomes in terms of public awareness. Social media networking’s’ are becoming powerful addition to the health issues. There is a huge interest in using social media as a tool for public health matters. The aim of this paper is to create a social network that will be used by young mothers not only to exchange experiences through different social services but also to get necessary information about disease predictions and preventions, immunization tracking and other matters. The social network would exist as the first point where mothers could gather health oriented information in their mother tongue. This social network would be especially designed for mothers that live in rural areas and cannot get instant medical help, information and advice.
