Background

The Social Network Sites is exploding!


Background One of the most visible trends on the Web is the emergence of Social Network Sites (SNSs), such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Myspace, which provide online services or platforms that help users build social networks or social relations with others. ①  electronic bonds make

individuals comfortable with their behaviours

②  multiple profiles which are stored in different Social Network Sites (SNSs)

③  maintaining these multiple online social network profiles is cumbersome and time-consuming

Background --Healthcare social networks


The social-networking revolution is coming to health care through online social networks that enable information sharing, collaboration and communication in the area of personal healthcare data (Domingo, 2010).

①  Enabling healthcare information exchange (HIE)

②  Simulating new social network accounts by sharing profiles

③  Facilitate updates for users by profile synchronisation

④  Maintaining healthcare sphere that can support health information management by patient-controlled integrator.

Background --Social Web Profile (Iannella, 2009)

Most social network users hold more than one profile and utilise them in different ways depending on the digital context.


A user profile is a document describing an entity with details such as name, gender, avatar picture, but also things like favourite food, interests, or other attributes about one’s education, work, or health.

Healthcare profiles





Problems


n  Most of the physician or patient social networks only pay attention to the user’s healthcare profiles which are stored in healthcare social networks.

n  Factors, such as lifestyle, interests, exercise, interpersonal support, work environment, and job risk, can be used to gain a better understanding of a users health background (Walker, Sechrist, & Pender, 1987)

n  An Integrated Profile which contains basic, professional, and health partial profiles together, could meet current online health informatics demands.

General Social Networks: Facebook and Hi 5

Professional Social Networks: LinkedIn and Jobster

High fat food may pose a big threat of heart disease, but loud noise in the workplace doubles an individual’s risk for heart disease.

Problems (2) --Profile residing in distributed sources (Multiple Profiles)

Social Web Profile (Iannella, 2009)

Maintaining these profiles is cumbersome, time consuming, inefficient, and leads to lost opportunity.


Create new profiles

Update Profiles

Delete Profiles





Purpose

n  How to obtain a more complete picture of the patients’

background so that health professionals can provide better,

quality and informed health care decisions (e.g., e-Health!).

n  How to simplify the management of patients/users’

multiple profiles (e.g., create, update, delete).


Purpose





Implementation

We propose a framework for multiple profile management

(MPM) of online social networks and showcase a

demonstrator utilising an open source platform –

Onesocialweb (OSW).


Implementation -----Multiple Profile Manager (MPM)

Social network sites

are isolated from

others.

Need ways to connect

these islands.

Ø Export the Integrated Profile (IP) including the basic, social, working, and health information data into a file in XML, Excel, or Word formats (Can be imported into other systems/applications).

Ø Print an IP Report which offers doctors a better picture of patients’ background.

The Integrated Profile Report makes it easier for users and their doctors to gain a more complete picture of his background. Therefore it helps health professionals provide better care for patients.

Prototype Update Healthcare Profiles


ü  Improve healthcare social networks which provide an active platform for storing personal healthcare data, sharing ideas, and debating treatment

options (e.g, HIE).

ü  The proposed MPM can be applied in this healthcare social network

platform to improve patient care (with Information Accountability).

ü  The MPM aimed and successful on simplifying the management of patients’ profiles

ü  And more importantly allow health professionals to obtain a more

complete picture of patients’ backgrounds so that they can make better

medical decisions.

ü  Privacy and Security: an on-going investigations and research based on BYOD and PbD {and "Semantic Profiles” [1] }


Conclusion





Future work


Ø  Security and Privacy (BYOD, PbD and Semantic Profiles)

Ø  Individual may hold more than one name, contact address, phone number, etc. Thus, what is needed is the ability for a user to control what partial aspects of the profile they will expose to different SNSs

Ø  Practical and acceptable usability studies

Ø  "Semantic Profiles" (Iannella, 2009a)

The semantic profiles capture the evolving changes of a person’s social context. For example, the healthcare profile properties may capture health conditions and health risks based on a user’s actual discussion group and blog interactions on healthcare social networks such as PatientsLikeMe and Disaboom.
