From HelloHealth. No promises of perfection, fancy tests, or excessive procedures. It says, “we’ll listen.”
I think it’s too bad that the MTA shut it down (MTA Bursts Thought-Bubble Subway Poster Campaign). People have a lot to say about their health - this shows that they aren’t being listened to. Why don’t we shut down ad campaigns for unecessary medical tests and procedures? Just something to think about.

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.
Matthew Holt recognizes this as the latest definition out there. As I mentioned in my comments on previous posts about this , I started this process out of necessity. I needed to describe health 2.0 in a presentation to the Board of the California Healthcare Foundation. I did use the definition above, and what I was/am happiest about it is that it’s something I would not have come up with in my physician state of being (as patient focused as I am), and that it was finalized and approved by a patient.
We’re talking about a definition this time; isn’t this a metaphor for how any health system improvement should happen from now on?

Remember that I started the defining in anticipation of talk I am giving? That talk is happening next week, in collaboration with the California Healthcare Foundation, who are working to foster next generation ideas for health care.
Based on the comments I’ve read to date, here’s what I put together:
Health 2.0 is participatory health care. The combination of content and community enables the patient to be an active partner in their own health care and the citizen to be an equal partner in improving the health system.
Here’s a summary of the improvements suggested:
Dave: add “When patients meet Web 2.0″
Andre: add “Social Media”
Jen: “Content and Community” (commerce coming)
Deborah: “Strike transition, promote participation”
Lodewijk: “Not a transition; Health 2.0 defines the combination of health data and health information with (patient) experience through the use of ICT, enabling the citizen to become an active and responsible partner in his own health and care pathway”
Gilles: ” Add ‘and equal’, add ‘informed’”
Dave: “Lodewijk + is the combination of new Web tools, health information, and patient awareness, enabling the citizen”
Susannah (offline) : “Participatory medicine”
Matthew: “Good luck”
Here’s the original:
Health 2.0 is the transition to personal, participatory health care. Everyone is invited to see what is happening in their own care and in the health care system in general, to add their ideas, and to make it better every day.
Better? Easy to discuss in an elevator, or on your way to a walking meeting?
