Abstract
During the last years social media have enabled the interaction, collaboration and sharing of resources. The health social media are taking a major role in health education for both health professionals and patients. This expansion has been fostered by identification of trustworthy health videos through social activity of the users.
In parallel, the semantic web and the linked data are taking over the scene. “Smart†solutions for linking knowledge and educational resources by the use of structured data (linked data) have started to appear. Even if this idea exists for quite a lot time, only the few last years has started to be broadly implemented. Research groups are investigating the likely role of semantic web and Linked Open Data on the enrichment of health educational resources with additional knowledge and information.
In this presentation a platform that combines both the semantic and the social aspect of the interactions between users and resources will be presented and challenges of the next frontier derived from it will be set. A platform with over 60000 integrated YouTube health videos derived from trustworthy users (channels) offer to the user a unique experience of identify the needed health information. At the same time the descriptions of these videos are provided through a SPARQL endpoint. Through linked data this silo of trustworthy health information is available to foster the existing knowledge in the sematic web. This semantic social media platform does not only offer health information, but also links and provide recommendations relative with the health video from trustworthy resources.
This “live†silo that growths both with social and semantics aspects, gives the foreground for a variety of questions to be researched and answered: Is a social media platform able to provide accurate and trustworthy health information and educational resources to professionals and patients? Are the linked data appropriate to provide an ubiquitous experience of relative health knowledge or there is still a need of predefined libraries such as MEDLINE, PUBMED, ClinicalTrials.gov and others? Are the Big Health Data (structured and unstructured information) produced trustworthy and can be processed and provide meaningful concepts and information to professionals and patients? Which is the role of Internet of Things in semantic social media platforms?
All this questions will contribute to answer whether or not a silo of trusted YouTube health videos could change the scene in Health Education or at least be another (strong) brick in the wall of Medical Education Informatics.
