“eHealth week 2010 thought leaders will challenge you to imagine a world where you don’t need to travel across town to see a doctor. Instead the doctor would come to your doorstep, whenever it suited you. A fantasy world? Maybe not. The internet and in particular, Social Media, also known as Web 2.0, is transforming traditional healthcare practices and it is happening now.
Health 2.0 will be a topic of discussion at eHealth week 2010 in Barcelona, 15-18 March, 2010, a joint event between the World of Health IT Conference & Exhibition and the European Commission’s High Level eHealth Conference. Leading experts will look at the benefits and challenges of using social networking in a healthcare environment. Could Twitter and Facebook replace a physical doctor-patient consultation? There are many supporters and skeptics alike. eHealth week 2010 offers an ideal forum for practitioners, users, government leaders and decision makers to discuss this pressing topic.”
