Social Uses of Personal Health Information Within PatientsLikeMe, an Online Patient Community: What Can Happen When Patients Have Access to One Another’s Data by Jeana H Frost, Michael P. Massagli (Published on 27 May 2008) Background: This project investigates the ways in which patients respond to the shared use of what is often considered private information: personal health data.
