Medicine 2.0

Web 2.0, the new generation of web services, will (and already is playing) play an important role in the future of medicine. These web tools, expert-based community sites, medical blogs and wikis can ease the work of physicians, scientists, medical students or medical librarians and can help patients how to find reliable medical information online.

Medicine 2.0= web 2.0 + medicine (focusing on doctor-patient communication and technologies)

Health 2.0= web 2.0 + healthcare (focusing on shaping healthcare with web 2.0 tools and concepts)
