Impact of sharing health information related to diabetes through the social media network: ontology

Abstract

Diabetes is a common problem in the recent time. Many people are exchanging health information through social media networks (e.g., Facebook) to provide a good knowledge and that can help in decision making, change bad users' behaviours and enable better management of the disease. Ontology is used to share structured information among people. In this paper, the proposed ontology can be used to examine the impact of sharing health information related to diabetes through the social media network such as Facebook.
