Twitter and Healthcare

I came across a fascinating presentation by a health sciences librarian at the University of Michigan about the applications of Twitter in healthcare - therapeutic, doctor-patient dialogue, crisis management et al.

Ever heard of Qwitter - the tool that helps you quit smoking, or for that matter how 'support' from Twitter peer groups helps you embark on that oh-so-hard diet regime?

Here's the presentation and I'm sure you'll gain some fascinating insights from it.
