Web 2.0

Health 2.0—The Present

• Search, Communities & Tools

Health 2.0—What’s Next

• Data utility layers & unplatforms

Health Care

The Universe, Everything

*A relatively good faith

effort will be made to stick

to this agenda but no

guarantees will be given

that I’ll actually stick to it,

especially if I can find a

marketing guru in the

audience who can make

me as famous or as rich as

the guy who lives 4 doors

down from me and started

YouTube

What the hell is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 Ecosystem

Services, not packaged software

Data sources that get richer as

more people use them

Trusting users as co-developers

Harnessing collective intelligence

The Long Tail

What is “Health 2.0”

Matthew Holt’s best guess at the constituent parts

• Personalized search that looks into the long tail, and

cares about the user experience

• Communities that capture the accumulated

knowledge of patients and caregivers – and explain it to

the world

• Intelligent tools for content delivery -- and transactions

• Better integration of data with content

And not just a maybe….

Technologies fusing as patients increasingly guide their

own care

data between different services (liquidity)

(You may have heard of HealthVault, Google Health)

• Greater diversity in data types

• The emergence of new “unplatforms”

On top of the data utility layer

Unplatforms

• For Applications
