“The field of healthcare has undergone drastic changes with the introduction of internet and its other related concepts. It has given rise to the internet savvy patient who is now able to get information which had remained inaccessible for years with just a click of the mouse. The healthcare is now patient centered and is looking to improve based on the feedback available from the patients and/or their caregivers. The patients who access the internet for various healthcare related services have been aptly termed as e-patients. With the introduction of newer internet concepts such as web 2.0 individuals are now able to interact live with others in different corners of the world.”
