About Highlight HEALTH 2.0

The web used to consist of static HTML webpages. Web 2.0 has shifted the users’ experience to interactive and collective applications, namely blogs and wikis, which allow users to generate and publish content. These applications offer collaborative or social functions designed to foster greater participation.

The focus of Highlight HEALTH 2.0 is to follow the use of Web 2.0 in health and medicine. The blog is a collaborative effort and guest writers are welcome.

Highlight HEALTH 2.0 is a member of the Highlight HEALTH Network and is a resource for health consumers and healthcare providers. It is intended to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between a patient/site visitor and his/her existing physician.
