Abstract: As social media users increase and the user-generated content grows, social media are playing an increasingly important role in the general public’s life during the past decade. A group of the users give their attention to health information on social media. They are health professionals, health consumers, health stakeholders, and health decision makers. The social media applications offer diversified channels for open, convenient and effective health information seeking, and enhance the communication between the health professionals and the health consumers.
