SoMe for CF: Social Media as an Educational Tool for Adults with Cystic Fibrosis

Led by Dr. Anju Anand, this innovative project connects adults with cystic fibrosis – who otherwise would not be able to come together given concerns for their immune systems – through Twitter.

Education and support are offered through this virtual community. AERO is working with Dr. Anand to evaluate the outcomes and mechanisms of SoMe for CF. Together we will be applying for funding to explore the potential of patient and provider education through social media.
