The document discusses the author's experience as an "ePatient" searching for information online about living with a chronic illness like diabetes. Unable to find accounts of "real lives" beyond "horror stories", the author started one of the first diabetes blogs in 2005. This helped connect the author to a growing online community of over 350 diabetes lifestyle and management sites. Patient bloggers, or "patient opinion leaders", have become trusted voices for their communities and link people to vast networks of support. Blogging helps chronic illness patients heal by sharing stories and finding support to lighten the burden of living without a cure.

Are we Heroes or Are we Just Nurses?
In the eyes of our patients and families we are often the heroes of healthcare. But in our own eyes, or the eyes of our peers, we are often ‘just a nurse’. I have been a part of the nursing family for 3 decades and have had the privilege and honour to be with people on all aspects of their journeys through life and death. The challenges of being a nurse are only outweighed by the rewards of the profession and is why I remain dedicated to the next generation of nurses.

Final Project Essay
#itsokay ( No body Shaming)
The issue I am trying to overcome is body shaming in men and women, but particularly in women. Throughout the years body image has always been in issue in women and men. Women face being shamed for being overweight, too Curvy, having too much cellulite or stretch marks, while men face being very weight, too skinny, or having stretch marks which could come across as feminine. Since body image is such a high focus point in the entertainment industry , younger generations began to become self conscious of how they look and how much they weigh. The needs that are not being met is that women and men are tearing one another down based on their looks and destroying one another self esteem or confidence. No one is taking notice of this and it can impact a person's mental and physical health.
The root cause of this is that society has made an image for what women should look like and what they shouldn’t look like. Again , through the years technology has advanced for women to get fat reduction to get rid of unnecessary fat or to help get rid of cellulite and creams that supposable help get rid of cellulite or stretch marks. There are thousands of women who are trying to look like this image society created and are not embracing themselves. The thought bubbles goes blogger Hollie Broadhead talked about why being fat is an insult , because society is become more associated with how a women may look and they will then from their opinion on her looks. Broadhead had then stated that society is basically surveil of the fittest. Broadhead had stayed later in the paragraph that there are five measures of economic status, and how it affects you, “ 5 measures of socio-economic status' were assessed: 1) age completing full time education, 2) degree level education, 3) job class, 4) annual household income and 5) Townsend deprivation index (social deprivation scores). The results demonstrated that most overweight women and shorter men were less successful opposed to taller and thinner individuals, particularly in more developed countries such as the USA and UK.” . This shows that your looks and appearance does affect you socially and economically. Health and beauty has become on of the top standard not only in America but also across the world. A healthy lifestyle” or more drive throughout the day are more outgoing, and are aware of their surroundings when it comes to work, communication, and their status. However, for people who are not like an individual that I listed in the sentence prior , they are more likely to be sluggish, eat constantly throughout the day because of stress and are more likely to be depressed and not social. Everybody is different and they can not afford to live like other people if not they simply are going through things that they are not able to take care of themselves.
Because of how society such a strong hold on body image younger generations are starting to w.

ePatCon11: Dammert - The LIVESTRONG App – New Technology for Patient Empowerm...e-Patient Connections
The Live Strong app was created by the Lance Armstrong Foundation to directly help people fighting cancer and empower them to take action. It was developed based on a 2010 survey of over 8,000 cancer survivors which found that 85% felt their medical care would improve by sharing information electronically.

Donna Cryer discusses patient advocacy and e-patient connections in 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D.

The document discusses the need for a new era of interactive health that provides patients with 24/7 access to trusted physicians online through virtual practices. It notes that most patients currently lack same day access to doctors and want their doctors to know them better.

The document advocates for addressing these barriers by providing personalized messages that create motivation, ensuring patients comprehend their conditions and treatments, and identifying what specific issues cause non-adherence for individual patients. Digital tools should be designed using these behavioral principles to increase long-term engagement.

The document discusses how technology and empowered patients are changing the role of physicians. It notes that patients now have access to unlimited information online to research conditions and treatments, and can connect with others.
