What happens when you marry health care to Web 2.0? Health 2.0. Who knows if it will catch on, but it is the hottest buzzword around these days. You know if it has a Wikeipedia entry it has to be real. Well, maybe. OK, but what if it has its own conference? Still not convinced? Then maybe this article in The Economist will prove to you that this time consumers are ready to use the web to empower themselves in the Byzantine world of health care.

Health 2.0 may be the second coming of the online health care world - or it may be another bubble. Stay tuned to see which it is. My first foray in online health care during Web 1.0 was a blast. I hope this one is too. I hope that this time it’s sustainable.
