Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have merged into the world of healthcare slowly but surely. However, the marriage between the use of technology and its full impact in the health sector has not been fully realised. The focus of this paper is to highlight the impact of ICT on revolutionising access to healthcare information and thus quality of health for populations of the developing world.

Las tecnologías conocidas como Web 2.0 o Social Media, como Facebook o Twitter, se han extendido amplia y rápidamente, mucho más entre los consumidores que entre las organizaciones. Por ejemplo, a finales de 2009, Facebook alcanzó los 350 millones de usuarios (lo que la situaría como el tercer “país” en volumen de población por detrás de China e India) y Twitter alcanzó los 93 millones de usuarios y los 5.000 millones de “tweets”. Poco a poco, cada vez son más las instituciones sanitarias que están empezando a interesarse por estos temas.

Unprecedented resources have been mobilized for delivering health services in resource-limited areas over the last decade. The field of global health delivery aims to harness new finances, technical expertise, and political will to develop effective and efficient health systems throughout the world. A fundamental problem faced by practitioners in this field is to determine what strategies work best for delivering high-quality medical and public health services in different socioeconomic and political environments. The multiple stakeholders involved—local and national governments, nonprofit organizations, and private-sector businesses—have often failed to participate effectively and transparently in global health care delivery.

High-quality product reviews will be an important part of this new journal, with its focus on supporting and encouraging people to participate in their own healthcare. But how should we go about evaluating various interactive applications and devices that bill themselves as “health tools”?

People going online continues to increase with new tools and services such as Facebook, Flickr, and MySpace. Such tools provide profound changes in the way we communicate and share data. Personal Health Records have emerged as a new opportunity for patients. These activities point toward Web 2.0, including the social computing phenomena, and more importantly to the Healthcare 2.0 environment. Healthcare 2.0 is a network based on Web 2.0 that empowers the user to share medical records, diaries, information, etc. This paper explores the challenges and highlights the areas of research.

Research has shown that “Health 2.0″ – that is, user-generated health information often featuring blogging (i.e., self-publishing) or collaborative editing tools known as wikis – is increasingly popular among health professionals, chronic disease sufferers and the general public. However, concerns persist over the alleged inaccuracy, bias and poor governance of self-published health websites, or blogs, where an author’s entries are usually placed in chronological order, much like a diary.

Giant bytes have been taken out of the personal health record (PHR) market by technology companies like Google, Microsoft, Dossia, and others on a mission to connect consumers with their health information. If successful, the efforts by these and other Health 2.0 technology companies could transform the healthcare industry.

Delivery strategy in a consumer-centric healthcare system focuses on identifying, facilitating, and integrating online and offline communication and care delivery channels needed to reach and coordinate end goals (value) as defined by disparate customer segments (patient, provider, payor, policymaker, caretaker, etcetera).
Services are location independent, time independent, provider de-linked, and value-generating. Rising healthcare costs, increasing chronic conditions, and barriers to access drive the search for a new route to safer, cost-effective quality care.

Background:
The term Web 2.0 became popular following the O’Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004; however, there are difficulties in its application to health and medicine. Principally, the definition published by O’Reilly is criticized for being too amorphous, where other authors claim that Web 2.0 does not really exist. Despite this skepticism, the online community using Web 2.0 tools for health continues to grow, and the term Medicine 2.0 has entered popular nomenclature.

Modern Healthcare Systems that have embraced ICT and Internet technologies (referred to as Health 1.0) are evolving towards self management but from a clinical knowledge perspective. In contrast, from a user experience perspective, and using the latest web 2.0 technologies, the developing healthcare social networking communities (referred to as Health 2.0) are evolving towards becoming online medical portals.

The goal of social prospecting is to steer the user community into defining the guidelines for self care and lifestyle management. Using an evidence based approach, social prospecting combines the interest in keeping personal or family health care records with the momentum of user-generated healthcare (or health 2.0). The personal healthcare record containing self-documented and self-collected information, or observations, can be used when a symptom or concern arises to identify a retrospective pathology. Coalesce of individual pathologies, related to a particular symptom or concern, can correlate a generic pathology or pathway in the self care domain. Using health 2.0 technologies, the user community can augment these self care pathways with advice, suggestions and recommendations and collectively define self care guidelines.
