Summary | Many doctors often consult with each other when they are unsure how to treat a patient. This becomes a problem when they share images of patients without their consent on unsafe platforms such as WhatsApp. Now a safer platform has been developed where registered doctors can pool their expertise. Especially doctors working with refugees who don't speak their language find this incredibly useful.

Summary | According to a study, seniors (64+) prefer using WhatsApp and Facebook because they can connect with their grandchildren. Also, using new media make them feel young and modern. With social media, seniors feel active and integrated. However, they don't choose social media to have more relationships; most of them already are very social offline. They like WhatsApp a lot because they can create groups (family, friends, etc.) and keep in touch with everyone. They also like the fact they can stay in touch with their grandchildren and share pictures with them. Seniors like to communicate using memes, videos, and images; it is actually more difficult for them to write.
