Social media integration into research has increased, and 92% of American social media participants state they would share their data with researchers. Yet, the potential of these data to transform health outcomes has not been fully realized, and the way clinical research is performed has been held back. The use of these technologies in research is dependent on the investigators' awareness of their potential and their ability to innovate within regulatory and institutional guidelines. The Brown-Lifespan Center for Digital Health has launched an initiative to address these challenges and provide a helpful framework to expand social media use in clinical research.
社交媒体已经融入了研究领域，92%的美国社交媒体参与者表示他们愿意与研究人员分享自己的数据。然而，这些数据在改善健康结果方面的潜力尚未得到充分实现，临床研究的开展也受到了阻碍。这些技术在研究中的应用取决于研究人员对其潜力的认识，以及他们在监管和机构指南框架内创新的能力。布朗-寿命中心数字健康部门发起了一项倡议，旨在解决这些挑战，并提供一个有用的框架来扩大社交媒体在临床研究中的使用。
