Health 2.0 – Some terms of reference
Posted on 29 January 2009
As I have sat in meetings, speeches, read my Twitter stream (@virtuate) and loitered some blogs here and there I have been quietly putting together a list (initially mostly for my reference) on terms that come to mind when I think of advancing the service and provision of health care. Is it 2.0? I am not really sure but perhaps you folks can help me out by commenting and agreeing or disagreeing on the terms.
- Patient
- Care
- Accessible
- Accountable
- Awareness
- Connected
- Contextual
- Collaborative
- Consumer
- Community
- Choice
- Digital
- Electronic
- Experience
- Interactive
- Intuitive
- Mobile
- Networked
- Ownership
- Personal
- Participatory
- Preventive
- Private
- Relevant
- Real Time / Timely
- Secure
- Simple
- Shared
- Social
- Transparent
- Trusted
- Valuable
Of course each one of these has to be placed in context and I am sure that a lot is missing and some don’t fit here. What do you think? Please add your comments and relevant links below.

I would add empowerment, segmented, differentiation and responsive. Good jumping off point!
Good project!
So, as a baseline, how are we defining health 1.0?
Hi Gregg – Thanks for dropping by. To be honest defining Health 1.0 is part of the plan and a definition that needs clarification. For starters and as a baseline we could say health 1.0 is where many of us are at right now – uninvolved patients, paper-based care and paternalistic medicine. Help?
