The importance of the internet and some new generation services of the web (so-called web 2.0) is exponentially growing. As web 2.0 is based on collaboration, feedback and communities, it can ease the work of physicians. The authors give a short overview of the web 2.0 tools created for physicians.

Web 3.0 is fast approaching. The European Union Future Internet Assembly, the roadmap for the Web heading towards semantic interoperability and building on the UK’s adoption of the Internet and social media are accelerating this development. A number of health portals are opening, some with facilities for the capture of Patient Based Records. Collective Intelligence will be generated that, applied to health, has potential to support Public Health policy. By using the Internet, millions of people in the course of their daily activities contribute to uncertified data stores, some explicitly collaborating to create collective knowledge bases, some contributing implicitly through the patterns of their choices and actions.

Nowadays, medical practice needs, at the patient Point-of-Care (POC), personalised knowledge adjustable in each moment to the clinical needs of each patient, in order to provide support to decision-making processes, taking into account personalised information. To achieve this, adapting the hospital information systems is necessary. Thus, there is a need of computational developments capable of retrieving and integrating the large amount of biomedical information available today, managing the complexity and diversity of these systems.

“MedicineandTechnology.com has been covering interesting medical uses for Web 2.0, such as using Twitter to find out real time information about Swine Flu. Web 2.0 is defined by interactivity: it allows people to contribute in new ways to the Net, and in response they find that they can get more out of it.

Background
Internet social networking tools and the emerging web 2.0 technologies are providing a new way for web users and health workers in information sharing and knowledge dissemination. Based on the characters of immediate, two-way and large scale of impact, the internet social networking tools have been utilized as a solution in emergency response during disasters. This paper highlights the use of internet social networking in disaster emergency response and public health management of disasters by focusing on a case study of the typhoon Morakot disaster in Taiwan.

On simple Web pages, the text to speech translation provided by a screen reader works relatively well. This is not the case for more sophisticated ‘Web 2.0′ pages, in which many interactive visual features, such as tickers, tabs, auto-suggest lists, calendars and slideshows currently remain inaccessible. Determining how to present these in audio is challenging in general, but may be particularly so for certain groups, such as people with congenital or early-onset blindness, as they are not necessarily familiar with the visual interaction metaphors that are involved.

Background:
The Internet has undergone rapid development, with significant impact on social life and on modes of communication. Modern management of type 1 diabetes requires that patients have access to continuous support and learning opportunities. Although Web 2.0 resources can provide this support, few pediatric clinics offer it as part of routine diabetes care.
