Abstract

Alliance among healthcare professionals grows and develops during the practice of healthcare services, clearly in COVID19 epidemic. This joint effort makes one’s way gradually and systematically, especially in the virtual field of activities. This manner of exchanges result the coming to light of health-related social network sites, committed to all participants in these tasks (healthcare givers and takers). It introduces a creative method of medical caring referred to as Social Health (S-health). S-health can be invested as a technological outcome, in a collaborative and participatory mode, around healthcare takers treatment, supervision and safe preservation. The objective is to offer a constant improvement of the quality of care given to both personal and community health practices. In several regards, S-health can serve with this aim by the authorization of interactive movements of the medical information between both health care takers and givers. In fact, the dynamism of situated health social care models is crucial, which creates surpassing and remarkable challenges, related to the setting up of online health care-centered systems. As expected, none of the main social networks sites has yet discovered how to merge all health care tasks straight to their platforms. In such context, we need to deal with the insufficiency of an overall framework to establish S-health platforms properties from both medical and IT interpretations. This deficiency necessitates a modeling and a design arrangement dedicated to handle these platforms. So, the creation of a modeling structure, to represent S-health platforms features, has considerable prospect to reply this defiance and to take advantage of the magnificent potential of social networking, via a fundamental representation of S-health constituents in an abstract conceptual template. The modeling map demands to fulfill an amount of norms and points of reference regarding technological restrictions and design necessities, before the initiation task. It is the most relevant interest in the successful and effective structuring of an S-health virtual space.
