Crowd-diagnoses via social media have increased dramatically in the past year, researchers said, and they appear to be replacing visits to physicians to receive proper care.
Crowd-diagnosis, when people seek out medical diagnoses through social media, has increased dramatically in the past year, according to new research published in JAMA.
More people are turning to "Dr. Google," Reddit and other forms of social media for medical advice, increasingly seeking help and posting photos online of various ailments — including pictures of sexually transmitted diseases, according to new research published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"But statistically we should be seeing more. Shame or a lack of access means many are missing an opportunity to get professional, life-saving help," he said in the report. Fifty-eight percent of all posts on r/STD were explicitly requesting help with a crowd-diagnosis, researchers said. Of that, 31% of the posts included a photo of symptoms for reference, they added.
A misdiagnosis could lead to people not receiving necessary treatment, which "could result in greater harm to themselves or passing an infection along to others," she added.
