Abstract

Health-related online social networks arose with the "participated web", which created virtual worlds and virtual communities. In order to analyse the existing online social networks dedicated to health issues, we performed an active search on the internet for such websites and analysed their features according to the content analysis method. The study was performed in September and October 2009. We analysed a sample of health social networks for patients, selected using the Altavista
