An everincreasing number of individuals routinely contribute and consume solicited and unsolicited information about a variety of health related issues using a wide range of internet and social media channels. Adoption of this data as a resource is hampered by concerns related to the accuracy and reliability of data. We believe that the ability to collect and evaluate this data for veracity would provide a benefit to public health and safety and ultimately contribute to improving healthcare outcomes.
