ePatient Movement

The ePatient Movement refers to a group of health consumers who actively seek, understand, and use digital tools and information to manage their own health. These individuals research medical conditions online, communicate with healthcare providers electronically, and share experiences through online communities. The movement encourages patients to be informed, engaged, and collaborative partners in healthcare decisions, ultimately improving care quality and personal well-being. It highlights a shift from passive recipients of medical treatment to active participants empowered by digital resources and information technology.
