Health 2.0 Conference

Writing from the Health 2.0 Conference in San Diego.

It is interesting to hear about the "experts" talk about health 2.0 when they are really talking about the healthcare 2.0 system. Is it health 2.0 or healthcare 2.0? This is a very important distinction. One is industry centric (healthcare) and one is consumer centric (health 2.0).

Lot's of products/sites talked demo'ed here. My favorites (from the Health 2.0 perspective:)

(A little product aside, this is the biggest difference between Google Health and Microsoft HealtVault. Google is a product for consumers and Microsoft is a platform for industry. I will let you figure out which one will win.)
