Toronto: Using Twitter can help physicians answer health queries from their patients in a better way, say researchers from University of British Columbia (UBC).
The study found that more and more health care professionals are embracing social media.
This challenges common opinion that physicians are reluctant to jump on the social media bandwagon.
"Many people go online for health information but little research has been done on who is participating in these discussions or what is being shared," said Julie Robillard, neurology professor at UBC's national core for neuroethics.
