who do u think most infulential?@mkmackey: Q1 Widespread influence for pharma and healthcare IMO would be patients and providers #socpharm

:
Interesting because it used to b KOLs who r academic DES. Changing-On Sermo most influential derm is single practitioner in Hawaii #socpharm

:
Sorry DES shouldve been docs! #socpharm

:
How did they arrive at that conclusion? the most influential dermatology physician apart from scripting? #socpharm

:
Q1: @: Interesting because it used to b KOLs who r academic Docs …now practioners? why do u think? #socpharm

:
Sermo sales rep said this derm’s comments were most highly rated within the community. She was seen as leader. #socpharm

:
so how do we measure influence of docs? scripts or ?? Q1: social capital for pharma and HC? #socpharm http://bit.ly/ctmnk2

:
Hi Frieda Hernandez joining late #socpharm

feeling like longtail coming into play? RT @: How did they arrive at the most influential derm MD apart from Rxing? #socpharm

:
welcome! we’re talking about who has social capital in pharma and hc? @: Hi Frieda Hernandez joining late #socpharm

:
Good question #socpharm. I think those who can influence others script writing behaviors.

:
If you consider other industries w/ leadership in communities influence effects best practices. Interesting convo #smchat #socpharm

:
i like that @: influence effects best practices?? Interesting convo #smchat #socpharm

:
@ 1st response didn’t go thro on search! Sermo sales rep said this derm had highest ratings& leadership role w/in community #socpharm

:
Patients are very interested in medical education and treatments and more vocal with social media outlets #socpharm

:
Q2: Why isn’t there more texting4health given the widespread use mobile phones in US and worldwide? any good examples? #socpharm

:
@ Especially the rare disease community & other empowered patients who can yield enormous influence online #socpharm

:
I like this definition of influence – the ability to inspire action & measure it #socpharm #socpharm

:
do u think epatients can do that? RT @: like this definition of influence – ability to inspire action & measure it #socpharm

:
I think permission & accurate list/contact info still an impediment to texting 4 health #socpharm #socpharm

:
@ I get mobile alerts from CDC & am abt to cancel cause they r so random: from STDs to snacking healthy to handwashimg #socpharm

:
@ So relevance also a problem re:mobile #socpharm #socpharm

:
The CDC alerts aren’t targeted enough to be of value to me. #socpharm

:
not enough value in texting for epatients? @: I think permission & accurate contact info still an impediment to texting #socpharm

:
RT @: I like this definition of influence – the ability to inspire action & measure it #socpharm #hcsm

:
what if it was for a condition that u were interested? RT @: The CDC alerts aren’t targeted enough 2 be of value 2 me #socpharm

:
@ right it has to be very targeted. Liked the borders coupon texts I used to get. Knew what to expect from them. #socpharm

:
Q3: R there other better mobile persuasion opportunities for hc /pharma beyond texting4health that can reach mass and influence? #socpharm

:
@ think text alerts would be great for med reminders. #socpharm

:
what about also for info gathering? or simple journaling? @: think text alerts would be great for med reminders. #socpharm

:
@ epatients very influential with each other in #raredisease. Just have a look http://bit.ly/9DNa4i #socpharm #socpharm

@ Good ideas. Especially when trying to change behaviors. #socpharm

:
Can we help them be more influential? influence MDs? @: @ epatients very influential with each other in #socpharm

:
So why isn’t mobile even bigger in influencing health behavior? @: mobile good esp when trying to change behaviors. #socpharm

:
Hey, ya’ll…jumping in for a bit. #socpharm

:
@ Don’t know, it should be! For ex keeping food journal 4 weight loss or people w/diabetes. Think it will grow in time #socpharm

:
great…we’ve been talking abt social capital and mobile texting4health and other mobile persuasion RT @: Hey, ya’ll..#socpharm

:
@ @ Been wondering same thing about mobile re: behavior. #socpharm

:
@ good question. Maybe because my phone is an extension of me and I don’t want 2b reminded not to have a cookie? #socpharm

:
@ @ Pregnancy…have you guys seen the text4baby thingy? GE, I think. #socpharm

:

:
AgreedRT @: @ gd? Mayb bcuz my phone is an xtension of me & I dont want 2b reminded not to have a cookie? #socpharm

:
Agreed. Comes down to the right message/tool at the right time. I do think that there’s value. #socpharm

welcome…what do u think about mobile persuasion? what’s the best near term opp? RT @: Hello, joining late. #socpharm

:
@ http://bit.ly/9mo0nK J&J, not GE #socpharm

:
2 Eileen’s point. Need 2 B engaged for value. Agree on needing right demo/motivation. Anyone have data on mobile segmentation? #socpharm

:
I think if info provides value it is welcome and not an intrusion. Content must be relevant and show value for #mobile. #socpharm

:
gr8 idea…a what u can expect mobile reminder each week! RT @: @ http://bit.ly/9mo0nK J&J, not GE #socpharm

:
@ Great idea but wonder if like CDC alerts they will be targeted enof to be of interest. Would love 2 c results. #socpharm

:
@ @ Have also seen lots of discussion re: mobile for ADHD/ADD teens for Rx reminders. #socpharm

:
We’re back to content w context? @ what do u think? @: I think Content must be relevant, show value 4 #mobile #socpharm

:
Does text4baby have specific goal? #socpharm

:
@ Yeah me, too, but also agree with @ that it’s a motivated community…makes a big difference, yes? #socpharm
