Description
Rexidanmu Hudabai and co-authors grade social media videos that promise weight loss help for sleep apnea. Their twenty twenty-six study spans YouTube, TikTok, and Bilibili. Two hundred thirty-five videos passed the screen from the top hits on each platform.
Each video was scored with five tools that grade patient education quality and trust. Uploader type, length, and engagement counts were also logged. The team hunted traits that mark a video as sound versus shaky. Sleep apnea care leans on weight loss, so bad online advice can do real harm. The work gives patients and clinics a sharper filter for the flood of health clips.
