As an interaction platform, Twitter is a place where Internet users can share their experiences. The use of hashtags has become a common practice now, a word that gives access to an impressive number of messages around a topic.<\/p>

#ocTocToc<\/strong> or even #PharmaTocToc<\/strong> are used by healthcare professionals to communicate with their colleagues. The virality of social networks allows them to build a real digital community<\/strong> in full expansion for nearly 10 years.<\/p>

The Covid-19 has raised many questions within the medical world. This was felt within the digital community with questions about the management of the crisis but also about the interaction of the Covid-19 with certain pathologies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A change in the medical field<\/h2>

Within the framework of the project Epilogue<\/a><\/strong>We analyzed the exchanges of health professionals on social networks. 5,723 health professionals<\/strong> different people expressed themselves on Twitter from June 2012 to March 2021<\/strong>. An analysis of 41,041 tweets<\/strong> extracted from medical hashtags (pneumotoctoc, dermatotoctoc...) allowed a focus on the pandemic as well as on its impact on oncology and cardiology.<\/p>

The year 2020 was marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and health professionals were faced with an unknown that raised many questions and needs in the field. During this period, 1,751 messages<\/strong> around the #Doctoctoc<\/strong> and #Pharmatoctoc reveal these questions. These are presented as early weak signals of pandemic management<\/strong>.<\/p>

Indeed, when faced with particular cases during this crisis, health professionals are essentially in charge of search for recommendations<\/strong> with their peers (13.48% of messages). Moreover, Covid-19 has changed medical practice. In particular with the installation of teleconsultation in many practitioners but also on the prescription of test or surgical masks (11,44%).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The special case of cardiology & oncology<\/h2>

The management of the Covid-19 crisis is of particular concern to health professionals. But its consequences on other pathologies are also worrying.<\/p>

Concerning cardiological pathologies, fears are raised with a possible increased cases of myocarditis<\/strong>. An adaptation of anticoagulant treatment is questioned, for example, due to the suspected involvement of Covid-19 in coagulation disorders and thromboembolic events.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The management of cancer patients was a difficult task for the health professionals during the first confinement. Indeed, during their exchanges, they expressed themselves on the delays in hospital appointments and chemotherapy.<\/strong> They also point to the lack of specific information<\/strong> for oncology patients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
