Medicine 2.0 #10 – Medicine and the Second Generation of Internet-based Services

Medicine 2.0I’m hosting this weeks edition of Medicine 2.0, the bi-weekly blog carnival of the best posts pertaining to web 2.0 and medicine.

I’ve published Medicine 2.0 #10 – Medicine and the Second Generation of Internet-based Services over at the Highlight HEALTH Web Directory. I’m working a project there involving web 2.0 and health, fitness and medicine, and I thought it would be a great resource to supplement the other articles being developed. I’ll fill you in on the details of the project soon.

The past two weeks were rich with medicine 2.0-related articles and there are almost 40 blog posts included in this weeks edition. I intentionally kept my comments short so that you can focus on the content of each article. I’ve organized the articles into a number of categories, including:

  • Medicine 2.0, Informatics and Personal Health Records
  • Web 2.0 Tools: Blogs, Video and More
  • Health 2.0
  • Social Health Networking
  • Medical Science, Biotech and Healthcare

I hope you enjoy Medicine 2.0 #10 – Medicine and the Second Generation of Internet-based Services. The next edition of Medicine 2.0 will be hosted at The Health Wisdom Blog on Sunday, October 28th, 2007.

Web 3.0 and Predictive, Preventive and Personalized Medicine

Since January, Berci Mesko over at Scienceroll has been writing about how Web 2.0 is changing medicine. He’s written a number of interesting articles, including Medical wikis: the future of medicine? and Medical Web 2.0 Sites.

In Web 3.0 and medicine, Berci writes about WikiProteins, a new site that plans to use Web 3.0 technologies to incorporate real time community annotation into a semantic framework. The article Meet the uber-wiki is a great review of the up-and-coming resource.
