Medicine 2.0 is the annual open, international conference on Web 2.0 applications in health and medicine, also known as the World Congress on Social Networking and Web 2.0 Applications in Medicine, Health, Health Care, and Biomedical Research.
The congress is organized and co-sponsored by the Journal of Medical Internet Research, the International Medical Informatics Association, the Centre for Global eHealth Innovation, CHIRAD, and a number of other sponsoring organizations.
The University of Twente (UT), the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre (UMCN) and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) will host Medicine 2.0 Europe on November 29-30, 2010 in Maastricht, The Netherlands.
Medicine 2.0'10 will umbrella REshape (Fall ed., UMCN) and the 'Supporting health by technology' (IIIrd ed) symposium series (Univ. of Twente, RIVM). Evidently, the focus is on the impact and significance of Web 2.0 on health, health care and research. This incredibly important, prospering and promising field of interest deserves an open and collaborative European forum.
