Check out this link at The Health Care Blog for a nice powerpoint-build explanation of how health 2.0 could evolve.
Most folks think of health 2.0 simply as “user-generated” healthcare content and intelligence, but as you’ll see in this graphic, it may evolve to so much more than that.
And if you think that health 2.0 is still a long way out, you’ll be interested in the first health 2.0 company IPO, Athena, the largest IPO of 2007. While some investors think it’s overrated, there’s something beautifully simple of an internet-based EMR that aligns incentives with physician practices (by and large, Athena only makes money if their clients are increasing revenue)
