As defined by Wikipedia, an e-patient is someone who is a health consumer who uses the Internet to receive information about a medical condition.  E-patients also known as  Internet patients go online to seek guidance for health conditions.   In the Wikipedia,  e-Patients have reported that due to their online medical research, they have received “better health information and/or  services, and different (but not always better) relationships with their doctors.” [1]
