CHART OF THE WEEK
Tebra analyzed online search data from around the world and surveyed more than 1,000 Americans about the health information they seek online. We uncovered surprising statistics, including that 86% of Americans have used online platforms for medical advice in the past year instead of consulting a doctor. The most popular platforms for this are Google (by a landslide), Reddit, ChatGPT, and TikTok.
You may consider using these digital platforms to disseminate accurate health information while emphasizing the importance of in-person and telehealth appointments. Adapting to people’s changing online search behaviors and ensuring a balance between digital convenience and professional expertise is crucial for maintaining public well-being and building trust with your patient base.
