SN2SMS - Location-Aware Social Network Based Health-Care Recommendation System


Tareef Ali Khan, Hina Asmat, Faisal Shahzad, M. Faheem Mushtaq, Malik Muhammad Saad Missen and Nadeem Akhtar

In this paper, we introduce conceptualization of an intelligent health-care system (named as SN2SMS and read as Social Networks to Short Text Messaging) which sends personalized health-care messages prepared from content extracted from campaigns running on online social networks. This combination of online social networking with latest communication technology distinguishes this system from existing health-care communication systems that basically send hardcoded health-care recommendations to their subscribers. Another excellent feature of this system is that it does not diffuse short-text messages to its subscribers blindly. This system is supposed to categorize messages into location-independent messages and location-aware messages. Location-independent messages are sent to all subscribers while location-aware messages are sent only to subscribers of extracted location. Location-aware messages contain information about a disease most likely to be spread in that particular area.
