“Health 2.0 just had its largest ever event, with 50 percent more attendees than their previous largest event. A number of companies launched during the conference, but like many events, the most interesting activity wasn’t what happened on the main stage but the many side meetings/events that took place.

“Health 2.0 aficionados will know that I’ve been railing against the term “mobile health” or “mHealth” for about three years. Health 2.0 is simply the next thing in health technology, and will remain so (whatever that might be). Sure we have a definition, but it’s about what’s happening not how it happens.

“Several years ago, I led technology on a project for a major healthcare provider, one that was often described as “America’s largest” in its category. We were doing a project where we used web technology for disruptive innovation. It was tested in a randomized clinical trial funded by a major pharmaceuticals company and was proven successful. In our system, patients and providers interacted online for chronic disease management. Within two years, we had developed a protocol for two of the top-5 most costly conditions.
