Health care and medicine needs to change

The status quo• Focus on curative medicine,

not prevention• Intransparencies, hierarchies,

proprietary systems • Information silos, inadequate

patient access to information• Intermediaries, gatekeepers,

“doctors know best” • Focus on modelling/storing

medical information

The Medicine 2.0 approach• Participation, Empowerment

(Endusers, Patients)• Openess, sharing data,

experiences, outcomes• Collaboration, Interoperability,

patients as partners• Apomediation, wisdom of the

crowds complementing experts• Social networking, modelling

and storing relationships between people, facilitating peer-to-peer communication
