Web 2.0 in the Health Sciences
“How Web 2.0 is Changing Medicine” Dean Giustini (medical librarian) Editorial published in BMJ in December of 2006. Highlights how Web 2.0 applications such as
podcasts, RSS, blogs and social bookmarking can benefit health care professionals in their practices.
“rather than intrinsic benefits of the platform itself,
it's the spirit of open sharing and collaboration that is paramount.”
Health 2.0
“Health 2.0 is participatory healthcare. Enabled by information, software, and community that we collect or create, we the patients can be effective partners in our own healthcare, and we the people can participate in reshaping the health system itself.”
Ted Eytan, MD “The main point of the Web 2.0 movement in health
care is the use of social software and its ability to promote collaboration between patients, their caregivers, and medical professionals.”
Laura O’Grady
Medicine 2.0
“Medicine 2.0 applications, services and tools are Web-based services for health care consumers, caregivers, patients, health professionals, and biomedical researchers, that use Web 2.0 technologies as well as semantic web and virtual reality tools, to enable and facilitate specifically social networking, participation, apomediation, collaboration, and openness within and between these user groups..”
