From face-to-face to cyber space: Managing arthritis in the digital age
FY 2012-13
Summary
Arthritis is a leading cause of impaired mobility and quality of life in people of all ages. To improve the delivery of care, digital media is increasingly being used to provide medical consultation, treatment and support for self-management. In the Café Scientific, we will share the latest research on the use of online technologies and mobile devices by people of different ages to manage arthritis. In addition to engaging the local public, we will provide streaming video and use social networking sites to engage remote participants in the Café discussion.
