Abstract: Abstract The use of social media is an under-studied topic with huge potential to affect healthcare. It can improve access to healthcare by minimizing the need to travel a long distance for costly hospital visits. This chapter reviews the coverage of mobile phones, the internet, the use of social media, and the opportunities, such as virtual meetings and online information portals, it may provide to the healthcare system in the future.
