Abstract
Healthcare technologies have tended to focus on electronic health
records and devices (e.g., devices within the home for patients or
handheld devices for nurses and physicians), and the interaction between
the two. However, no one to date has investigated how social networking
technologies might be used to provide an assistive environment for
patients who participate in group therapy. In this paper we propose such
an environment and go on to discuss the privacy requirements and
security implications in developing an appropriate support mechanism.
