Article:

Designing for emergency preparedness with the advantage of social media has become a pri-ority for mobile app developers, medical practitioners, and agencies from public sector. To un-cover the possibility of location-based social media use in life-saving emergent situations, this study takes a qualitative content analysis approach to identify the underlying purposes, emo-tions, and behaviours of the users who check-in the hospital emergency room on social media. A leading medical centre in Taiwan was selected as the data collection site. A total of 1,063 lo-cation-based check-in posts from January to May 2015 were collected and analysed.
