Within each segment, the specific opportunities created by social media for the parties involved were considered and the possibility of addressing relevant medical decision-making issues was shown. For this purpose, the existing portals "Hakim.tap", "hakimsanaz.az", "saqamolun.az", "doctormap.az", "DentStar.az", "tibb.az" in the national medical and social media space were analyzed. Based on the proposed parameters, a conceptual model supporting medical decision-making has been developed.
“Based on these parameters and the conceptual approach, a number of decision-making issues will be addressed: assessment of the quality of medical services; comparison of digital inequality of regions in terms of population access to medical portals; identification of demand and supply of medical services in various fields of medicine; assessment of medical safety of the population by regions; medical and social tomography of the regions; Analysis of the ecological situation in the regions, lifestyle of the population, socio-economic development, medical infrastructure, etc. due to diseases,” the corresponding member of ANAS added.
