Critical Commentary

This research focuses on diabetes activism, the open data movement, and how Twitter hashtags may be used to foster innovations. Our single case study focused on the hashtag #WeAreNotWaiting, representing a Type-1 diabetes movement that straddles online and offline worlds. The case study is based on Twitter data containing the hashtag #WeAreNotWaiting, observations at public events and interviews with diabetes advocates, patient entrepreneurs, diabetes device manufacturers and government officials. This research hopes to advance the user entrepreneurship concept into areas of societal concern such as healthcare and trace how social movements and user innovation may be aligned through online activism.
