Health 2.0

edit

Taking its name from the "Web 2.0" label given to describe the social-networking emphasis of Internet since 2004[1], Health 2.0 is the use of web and social networking technologies to facilitate patient and physician interaction and engagement, usually through a online web platform or a mobile application[2]. It is sometimes used interchangeably with the term "Medicine 2.0," however, both terms refer to a personalized health care experience that aims to increase collaboration between patients and providers, while increasing patient participation in their own health care[3]. In addition to increased patient-physician interactions, Health 2.0 platforms seek to educate and empower patients through increased accessibility of their own health care information, such as lab reports or diagnoses[4]. Some Health 2.0 platforms are also designed with remote medicine or telemedicine in mind, such as Hello Health[5]. The advent of this communication method between patients and their medical providers is thought to change the way medicine is delivered[6], evidenced by a growing focus on innovating health technology, such as the annual Health 2.0 conference[7].
