“When Terri Nelson learned she had a large fibroid tumor in her uterus, she went online.
There is nothing new in that, of course. The intrepid and the adept were going to the Web for health information as long ago as the 1980s, well before Google and other search engines made it accessible to a wider audience.”

“How are Web 2.0 technologies like social networks, wikis and online communities changing the face of the health care industry? How are hospital systems and physician practices evolving as a result of rapid technological change? How can health plans evolve in the face of emerging challenges with the help of new technologies and new thinking? What will come of the recent controversies over genetic testing and the privacy of patient data? Where does the hype over social networks and user-generated content end and the reality begin?”

“With the rapid pace of development in medical technology, some doctors have turned to the Web to supplement textbooks and journals and created medical wikis. Naturally, wikis aren’t to be regarded as the final word on any medical topic; rather, they’re facilitators of discussion and starting-off points for more research.”

“Two of the types of tools which are mentioned when people talk about the idea of “Health 2.0? are social networks and wikis.
Social networking sites are springing up fast and they all allow people suffering from the same disease to connect with each other for information sharing, telling their stories, giving each other emotional support and passing on tips and techniques which they’ve found helpful.”

“Last week, The Health Care Blog ran two articles about new wiki sites that will develop and continuously update medical information. A wiki is a “content collaborative” that allows anyone (or anyone authorized by the site) to contribute or modify content; Wikipedia is the best known example.”

“An online medical encyclopedia launching later this year aims to have have the open-source, ever-evolving, comprehensive nature of Wikipedia. But — in a key departure from Wikipedia’s all-comers sensibility — the new encyclopedia will be edited only by those with advanced degrees in medicine and biomedical science.”

“Google just launched its online encyclopaedia project, the so-called Knol. The whole blogosphere is talking about whether it can be a competitor to Wikipedia. Well, let’s put it that way: no, it can’t. An excerpt from their mission statement.”

“Yesterday, Google launched Knol, immediately branded as Google’s answer to Wikipedia. As health care adviser to the project, I’ll say a few words about Knol, but focus on how it – and other forms of electronic self-publishing – may signal the end of medical publishing as we have known it.”

“There’s a new wiki in the health social media town, Medpedia.
Among the most popular online sources for health information is Wikipedia. Millions of people search Wikipedia daily for insights into medical conditions, drugs, and procedures. Medpedia estimates it will cover information on at least 30,000 conditions/diseases and 10,000 drugs.”

“Anonymous prestige or money and fame?
That’s the choice doctors who write face today as Medpedia approaches its launch date and Google announces the launch of Knol.”
